[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7567648, member: 29398"] How does this interact with Bracers of Defense, Rings of Protection, etc. - do they count as armour? If not, this seems nasty for the sneaks and casters. Does this stack with #1 above, giving quadruple damage if both are true? Now this one's very interesting, though were it me I might make it something like Con score + 8 to avoid having high-level low-Con characters die to a max-rolled ordinary hit from a strong Orc's longsword. It would also make me very leery of putting them up against things like Giants that can do 20 damage on a whim, which would be a shame, because Giants are fun! :) Do you find this makes your players put too much emphasis on having a high Con score? Ok - a second save determines yes or no to this? This last really surprises me. Either your monsters can't crit for the life of 'em or your PCs all have the constitutions of dump trucks - or both, maybe. :) [/QUOTE]
