[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 2109301, member: 16077"] Thanks for the feedback. Funny you should mention mending - my whole conjuration of this alternative armor as DR system stemmed from the fact that no one seemed to be using the existing house rule, especially the section on armor repair... The guy who came up with the armor DR house rules also came up with a whole set of rules for armor repair, including some magical items to prevent and repair damage. 1. I don't necessarily think that *just* a critical strike should damage armor - how many movies have we seen where the BBEG slices away the good guy's armor bit-by-bit during the final fight scene? 2. This might work, except shields will still always get demolished before the armor takes any damage... 3. I'd probably make the save DC some inverse relationship to the amount of damage the armor has taken. Something like, it starts out at DC 10 - the magical bonus, and for every point of AC it gets reduced, the DC increases by one. I'm also considering the idea of somehow using damage conversion (i.e. taking non-lethal damage vice lethal damage) with this system. [/QUOTE]
