[QUOTE="WaterRabbit, post: 48639, member: 2445"] [b]Damage Reduction[/b] It have thought quite abit about how damage reduction should work. The problem with having DR only protecting WP is that combats with fighters will end up with them getting hit a lot and burning through Vitality very quickly. Then they slowly get beat down. They are now done for a few hours, because that is how long it will take them to recharge. (Note: in a game like SW, healing is harder to come by). I would recommend that DR protect VP as well. It keeps armor useful. I D&D, more so than SW, the amount of damage each character does rises dramatically with level. If you don't have DR protect VP you will devalue medium and heavy armors, because the penalties don't balance with the benefits. Which, by the way is the current problem with D&D. What you could do to mitigate this somewhat, is to have magic bonuses for weapons also increase the penetration of that weapon. [/QUOTE]
