[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 9605387, member: 6877472"] No idea. I mean, cynical me says, no, probably not, if it's all downside. Not that I'm sure there's much of an upside, beyond "verisimilitude" (which is important to some). I tried to model gear damage in an abstract fashion, where you could earn Strife levels if you lacked resources, which slowly penalized your gear. When I polled my group about my houserules, they voted that the one they liked the least, lol. But it's just like critical tables, hit locations, and specific injuries. There are some people who like that sort of thing. I remember being regaled by a friend of mine talking about his Runequest game where he hit a guy in the shield with an axe with a lucky roll, and ended up cleaving through the shield, through the guy's armor, and nearly severing the enemy's arm off, and his eyes lit up with joy at the memory. I wondered how he'd feel if it had happened to him, lol, but I didn't ask! [/QUOTE]
