[QUOTE="Matrix Sorcica, post: 3691241, member: 3547"] The problem with this is and some other variants is that no one in their right mind will wear armor (especially at high levels). For DR 4, the dragon now has a 30% bigger chance of hitting you with its 4d8 + 20 attack. I think I will drop the armor and take my improved chances of no damage, thankyouverymuch. Making armors provide more DR, and daggers and short swords etc. become useless. The problem is not easily solved. Iron Heroes tried (and failed IMO). A solution could be to let armor provide full DR (with no or very very little reflex penalty [BTW it's already included in max. dex]), that can be bypassed by a hit roll that succeeds with as wide a margin as the DR. Ramblings aside, I agree that magic items and spellcasting (that is, SRD spells) are the obstacles to a more direct port of Saga to fantasy. [/QUOTE]
