Hi!
I'm quite attracted to the idea of using the Class Defence Bonus from Unearthed Arcana as well as using the armour as damage reduction.
However, I just wondered if anyone had any experience of using them in play as the Class Defence Bonus seem a little high at 1st level (e.g. for clerics, fighters, and paladins it's +6).
Also when I use both I'll probably not have armour have an Armour Bonus and just have damage reduction. This will limit me to 4 types of armour: Light (leather 1/-), Medium (chain mail 2/-), heavy (half-plate 3/- and full plate 4/-). As it's predominantly a medieval knights campaign that shold be fine. Although if anyone can think of a sensible way of encorpoating different armour types that would be great.
Does anyone anticipate any problems?
