[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 4997483, member: 59057"] This problem is usually only apparent on artillery mobs. Those do not need armor, no, in fact not having armor on them seems like the obvious, because their dex is high and usually want to stay unencumbered. And also i think AC should always be the lower of reflex or AC. And no attacks vs AC should deliver status effects other than injection poison maybe. And if the troll should be nailed with iron, this particular troll should have higher AC than othe trolls, maybe be elite and scary to make it not just a troll which is nailed with iron but otherwise standard... And i definitively don´t want plate mail in the equippment list when it is not something that remotely resembles platemail... Actually on higher level monsters i can accept this somehow. (Because lelvel are abstract) It bothers me on lvl 1 kobold slinger when they were hide armor, have a dex of 16 and AC is 12... which IMHO is annoying... @ HP and HS: You just are not wounded if you don´t die... never have been in D&D. If you were, you would have a harder time evading and attacking and in a death spiral. Also you bleed out. Ongoing damage is a light cut which hurts a lot and maybe bleeds. A dazing wound is a dizzying blow which makes you catch for breath. And unconscious is excactly this: beeing knocked unconscious. And if you fail death saving throws, you just die because of inner bleedings. IYou are just out of the screen when lying on the ground. And the chances are you are more seriously wounded than everyone thinks... or just not. [/QUOTE]
