But it protects vital areas so it can be described as pseudo damage reduction, but higher miss rate on you vs. not defined nature of HPs is in a way also damage reduction.You cannot penetrate steel armor, maybe some low quality chain mail, but in plate you are nigh immune to swords and bows, unless hit between the plates(high attack roll vs. high AC).I would rather see minimum str for weapons and use str or dex for attacks for melee weapons and dex for ranged weapons.I.E.1d6 bow, min str  81d8 bow, min str 101d10 bow, min str 141d12 bow, min str 182d6 bow, min str 20without min str met, you have disadvantage on attack and deal minimum damage.</blockquote>
