Message: <blockquote data-quote="tlantl" data-source="post: 5960281" data-attributes="member: 55225">I kind of like medium and heavy armor to give DR.I also like for the armor to absorb those hit points and as they accumulate the armor degrades at a rate of 1 ac point for every 10 hits. Armors could have hit points of their own and when exhausted the armor is ruined. These hit points could be repaired any time before the armor is destroyed at a cost determined by the value of the item.I know a lot of people don't want to add things to track and I can see their point. The thing is I keep track of everything that happens during combat anyway so it costs me nothing to add this to my game. I already know who got hit how many times and the damage they took when they were hit, why can't I just note the damage to armor at the same time.I noticed that the developers are thinking about the better armors being an upgrade for players as they advance having to repair armors might work toward this in a way since the cheaper armors will be cheaper to maintain. Ser knight might have to invest in a chain shirt for those times when his big bulky armor is in the shop or waiting to go to the shop because Ser knight wasted his last pile of booty on a new horsey and a place to keep it.I personally like to keep the party hungry for gold. they always seem to need it for one reason or another. AD&D made this easy by imposing all manner of tithe tax and costs you'd like. I still use most of them but getting players to pay for training was a futile effort. I'd love for training costs to come back. Training centers, adventurer's guilds, schools, colleges, etc. Hours of role play and adventure right there. All without swinging a single weapon. What I really hate is armor classes starting with double digit numbers.</blockquote>
