Because you cannot target parts of a body, the armor might as well be said to cover your whole body equally. Despite the surfeit of real world examples of weapons that pierce or smash armor, the DnD system does not incorporate them for simplicity's sake. The mechanics of the whip follow this simple system.Also, a small shield held in the hand of a right-handed person will only cover 2ftx2ft of space on their left-front side. But there is no facing in 3.5e. So it might as well cover the entire body, which in effect it does. Also note that a +1 large shield will give the wearer a +3 Shield bonus, not an armor bonus.Council, approach the bench. Heh.Where do you weigh in on this issue of no-whip-damage-but-energy-damage Hyp?</blockquote>
