[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 114341, member: 994"] [b]Hmmm...[/b] I agree with this statement. Without adding DR to armor I have always imagined that many hits land but aren't hitting you hard enough to hurt, or are hitting you in a protected spot and therefore don't really penetrate to do any damage. While this is certainly an extrapolation on my part, it is the only way I have been able to rationalize the mechanics in a "fantasy" sense. I really would like to see a set of rules that combined the Defense rating from Wheel of Time (and others, I'm sure) to raise the AC and have armor only provide DR. My group isn't this picky but we are about to start a new campaign with Light armor unchanged, Medium armor with DR 1/- and Heavy Armor with DR 2/-. If (or when :D) this topic comes around again and we have a few sessions under our belt I'll try and remember to post how things have gone. DrSpunj [/QUOTE]
