I like the idea behind Defense Bonuses; it has always bugged me that PCs get better at taking hits but never get better at dodging them. My only problem with DBs is that they stack with spells that boost AC, which makes it very easy for casters to twink out their AC. That's really the reason I came up with Bonus Points, even though their benefits are hard to wrap your head around if you take the bonus type names literally. (how does my experience teach me to have tougher skin and an invisible force around my body?) So I treat the bonuses as Defense Bonuses when it comes to narration, despite their mechanical terminology.GlassJaw said:Saves and AC would definitely be my two biggest concerns. Might be a good case for giving to each class a Defense bonus. Not as sure about saves, although there are far fewer magical ways to boost saves.
