[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8383223, member: 27385"] I could see where something like this may work. You can add some additional things like armor specialty adding to the DR and give fighters more DR and/or more proficiency damage as a class feature. I always thought attacking was more a few flurries of blows back and forth with one being rolled to do damage. I figures that during the round there is clanging of weapons and blocks by shields and slides off armors. There is one that has a chance to get through and deal the actual damage and that is the roll. Also, if I roll and hit a AC15, that is hitting the leather armored foe and not the plate armored foe, that is the armor doing its job. We had a barbarian in the party with a 2-handed axe and complained about getting hit 'all the time'. He was convinced to get a shield and was amazed how much less he was hit and thought the less damage was a great cost-benefit. [/QUOTE]
