It doesnt slow anything down in the slightest. You mean kind of like creature DR? like having to stop and remember to add +1 to all attack rolls when under the effect of Bless?Unless the armor-wearers change back and forth bewteen types of armor between each combat, this shouldnt be much of an issue for anybody. I mean its very simpleDM: You take 5 damage from the displacer beasts tentaclePlayer (Who has it down on his character sheet that his wearing chainmail, so he has 3 points of DR): subtracts 2 from his current hit points.Yea..that really slowed things down. In the UA system as written, they do not. Your entitled to your opnion, but theres a good many reasons to believe it is. Just as Skills and Powers heralded many of the changes in 3e.The simply fact that they made it Open Game Content is a good one. Your being a bit meladramatic here. Making it so armor adds DR instead of adding to AC isnt going to make DND not be DND. Even less so would adding a bonus to AC based on class and level. Many people said the same thing about various things in 3rd edition, such as removing class/race restrictions, allowing Druids to be alignments other than True Neutral, or making it so it is possible for a Wizard to wear armor and cast spells at the same time.But, those changes were made, and its still DND.Now, totally removing Armor Class from the game would be slaughtering a sacred cow. But nobody is talking about that.The stuff in UA (at least the stuff I foresee maybe being part of the next edition) are all pretty mild changes. No slaughterings of any sacred cows.And, as I stated a few posts ago, there *will* be a new edition, and they *will* change things. However the list of things that have any need of change, and that can in fact be changed without causing it to no longer be D&D does get shorter as the editions go on. But, they will be changing things...and things like this seem rather likely.</blockquote>
