Skills? Feats? What the heck! Upper_Krust. What happened? Did I miss something? Since when are feats and skills factored into the CR equation? Both are integral to character class and level, and therefore already factored into your system. Take the fighter for example; they are all feats. Do...

Well, if you choose *not* to track armor damage, simply add hardness rating, natural armor, and damage reduction together. But if you do choose to track armor damage, as I have done, it becomes a simple matter of assigning hardness ratings and hit points to each of the armor types. The D&D FAQ...

HA! Yes indeed. It's like you are either reading my mind or moving in the same logical direction. To balance the damage size modifier, I too have been slowly incorporating armor as damage reduction in my game. This change, however, quickly become multi-faceted. First of all, Armor Class (AC)...

Upper_Krust. Well... I’ll say this. The beauty of implementing a "damage size modifier" is precisely that you "tack it on". Meaning, tacking it on is a feature rather than a detriment. It achieves the desired effect of factoring size and weight into damage modifiers without having to...

Upper_Krust But you yourself just admitted that those Strength bonuses are broken... Meaning... why augment arbitrary and broken Strength values with more arbitrary and broken Strength values (unless you can somehow demonstrate that your values "are not" arbitrary). But even if you could...

Upper_Krust. Not sure what you don't understand. Let's see if I can clarify this... You know the attack bonus gained from size? Creatures get a +1 attack bonus for being small and a -1 attack bonus for being large? Well this works exactly the same way, but for damage. The only significant...

Re: Damaging Damage I've been exploring this rule modification for a while now. One thing keeps standing out for me. What I started designing went like this... ----- The bigger you are, the more destructive your body becomes. With increased mass comes greater force. In the same way that...

SeveredHead. I don't understand your reference. A "bebilith"? Is this a monster? I couldn't find it in either Monster Manual I or II. That aside, I wasn't really suggesting a "Sunder Armor" feat, as perhaps the title of this thread suggests. It's the action of sundering armor that interests...

I don't think you read my post too closely Gunslinger. Armor Class doesn't exist at all in my system. Armor Class has been converted into Evasion Class (the roll you need to make a touch attack) and parry rolls are standardized. Moreover, armor works like damage reduction and is only damaged...

Caliban (et al). Thank you for that reference. I'll go a bit more into detail as to why I'm even looking for these rules. In my game, there is no "Armor Class" per se, but rather "Evasion Class" (EC) which equates to successfully making a "touch attack". There is also a standardized special...

Thinking quickly... I could see making their "armor bonus" the Hardness rating, but that still leaves Hit Points for each respective armor type. Did you come up with any values mearls? For that matter, has anybody come up with reasonable Hit Point values for the armor types?

That's straightforward enough. So my next question would be, what values did you create for each respective armor type?

I'd like to know if anybody (official or unofficial) has devised a set of rules that lets characters sunder armor (preferably without upsetting the simplistic/stylized D&D combat mechanic). I'm working on something myself right now, but the first question that comes to mind is... aren't...

Anubis. Endurance is far from a useless feat. For one, it is a prerequisite for the Remain Conscious feat. In case you didn't know, Remain Conscious allows characters to make a single partial action every round between -1 and -10 (the death's door period). If your dragonball-esque Hit Point...

Upper_Krust. Spell Resistance may not have been as big a deal before, and by before we're talking about 1st and 2nd edition Dungeons and Dragons. We're thoroughly in the thick of 3rd edition at his point and Spell Resistance can make or break a character, especially with multiclassing becoming...

I have to interject on one point Upper_Krust. As per the comments made by Anubis... If you are indeed determined to perfect this CR/ECL, and (by extension) wealth system, then making it aplicable to "all campaign settings" rather than "your campaign setting in particular" would be infinitely...

Looking forward to it! (Yes, the final product of the ECL/CR system you guys have been slowly buy surely cobbling together. :cool:

That question again is... What is the hardness of Darkwood? Does anybody know the answeer to this question, and where, if anywhere, I can find it printed?

Quick question... Are you guys still heavily "in process" or approaching a completed product? Thanks.

Too late, but thanks. I should have thought of that. :)
