AC or DR

[Viktyr Gehrig]

Anyway Armour = DR x/crit

Doesn't the extra damage on a critical hit take care of that nicely?

Six open, half-a-dozen the other.

[cliche-police]That's 'six of one, a half-dozen of the other' (the two different ways of saying the same thing -- six -- being the entire point of the cliche).[/cliche-police]

yeah thats the kink I'm trying to work out - as I said I'm thinking about it, its nowhere near ready to implement....

However a system that uses both would likely be too time consuming for most people.

GURPS 3/e did that. Armor had both PD (passive defense) that increased the chance that a blow would miss & DR (damage resistance) that subtracted from damage. It never seemed too complicated at the time.

Of course, I was into lots-of-rules then. Plus, they eliminated PD in 4/e, so that that for what it's worth.

Yep. & I could've sworn that was what I typed...
