[QUOTE="MythandLore, post: 23574, member: 180"] [b]Re: hmmm.[/b] Thanks for the info, I'm liking it less and less, it only works with wound points AND it's not going to be as high as the Armor Bonus was, talk about sucking, The only reason I can see them doing it for is to make it so Player Character's wont want to use any armor - like the character's in the movie. I don't know what a "Defense rating" is but all the classes in starwars had "Defense Bonuses" to their AC before. A low level Monk is weak, all the low level characters are weak. It's not heroic at low levels because characters aren't very heroic at low levels, like in real life. In real life do you really think you can fight someone in full plate with just your fist or a knife? Punching steel really wont work out well for you. Yes, it is very realistic that way. Wether or no you group thinks its fun is up to your group, but it is realistic. I agree. But that's the point of the critical right? I crit with a rapier and do more damage, then I can hurt someone with DR. But I think a called shot system would be good. [/QUOTE]
