Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sadrik" data-source="post: 6208446" data-attributes="member: 14506">The reason why I selected there to be 3 categories instead of 2 is because the Armor bonus and the Cover bonus need to stack. If you are in heavy armor and you hid behind a wall it should make you that much more difficult to hit. Cover and concealment are also very key magical and environmental game effects that are in play all the time. So they need to be pulled out and applied separately imho. I also agree with your thoughts on the shield.If it were my game to design, I would have magic items and spells that "took the best value". No stacking spells, class features, magic items etc. Like I broke up the AC above I can see breaking up each standard roll into three categories. Each one can have a base bonus and an enhancement bonus. At most any roll would only add 6 bonuses, of which most would be precalculated.ACCircumstance (Cover bonus/Cover enhancement bonus)Ability (Dodge bonus/Dodge enhancement bonus)Tool (Armor bonus/Armor enhancement bonus)To hit rollCircumstance (Tactical bonus/Tactical enhancement bonus)Ability (Attack bonus/Attack enhancement bonus)Tool (Weapons bonus/Weapons enhancement bonus)A lot of this seems inane. If one cleric casts bless, and then another casts bless, you only get the effect from one. More trickily though, if one cleric casts bless and another casts prayer, they stack? No, because both would be attack enhancement bonuses, etc. (And lets not get into prayer should be bless cast from a higher level spell slot...)</blockquote>
