I noticed some venom in my own last post... let me rephrase.I think, that if you want to make heavy armour more usuable (and I assuming you've got characters with proficiency in heavy armour in your campaign, who have a dex mod of +2 or lower), use more historic settings fo your characters. Jousts and Footlists at fairs.Start pitching opponents againt them who not just hit them on a 20, but on an 11. If they can change that to 14, they might take that opportunity.Bring along an NPC, who doesn't get hit 3 times every round, and after the battle says: "Nay, I require no healing."If you look at full plate armour, it is the most effective armour for combining dex and Armour value without magic (a total of +9 to AC) It also is mostly effective when flat footed or surprised, while dex isn't.Why aren't your players using heavy armours? This will just replace Medium armours with heavy armours and light armours with medium armours. Do you really want your rogues running around in Breast Plate?Just a few more points...Rav</blockquote>
