[QUOTE="ConcreteBuddha, post: 561586, member: 3139"] Consider this taken... ;) I like this, as it means that one large attack can more effective overall than multiple small attacks. It also means that tanks in full plate will once again outshine the mithral chain shirt people. Also, in the case of the Balor and other creatures with lots of NA, I would rule that NA does not provide DR. This is for a couple of reasons: 1) Most high NA creatures already have some form of DR. (And this armor DR shouldn't stack.) 2) Natural armor is still a part of the creature. Meaning it too can be damaged. (Real armor is an external part of the creature, and the creature's hit points are not tied to it.) 3) Balors can wear armor, too. ;) . . . A question: should shields provide DR that stacks with armor? Possibly: Small shield: DR 1/- Large shield: DR 2/- Tower Shield: DR 3/- (only works against half the battlefield) (Bucklers should not provide DR, as they are too small to be effective as anything but an AC bonus. Besides, every TWF and archer would take a mithral buckler just for the DR.) [/QUOTE]
