[QUOTE="quindia, post: 236243, member: 5024"] The first answer is some armor provides both AC bonus and damage resistance against some kinds of attack. The second answer to the armor question is the same as a lot to questions of this type... it's not in the Players' Handbook. Cwylric wants Paragon to only require one book. The Vitality/Wounds question has come up a lot too. The third answer, maybe more important than the others, is that all of the powers that provide damage resistance become less useful... why use up a precious power slot if you can spend a few bucks for gear that does the same thing? Finally, there's nothing to stop you from using DR for armor in your own games, but I don't think it will ever be incorporated into the "official" rules - this isn't the first time this has come up and Cwylric and I have discussed it before. There has been a lot of thought put into the rules and I would suggest you try a few games before changing too much... I'm glad you like the game! Try a few games and let us know how it goes!
