I don't remember exactly how many.The damage reduction was added because we found it boring to have every fighter wearing bracers instead of armor.We re-introduced this concept in 3e in a simplified way : Medium armor providesDR 1/ -, and Heavy DR 2/-.For some reason, we don't use damaging armor rules anymore. It was quite unrealistic but very easy to implement and acheived what we wanted :having the armor destroyed or repaired sometimes.Chacal</blockquote>
