[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6658841, member: 15700"] And you're totally missing mine. I said that I fully admit that there are things I may be forgetting, that's why I ask for explanations. In your example, you didn't give me a reason, you just said "I want to do this." Well, my fighter would love to cut everyone's head off in a single blow, but that's not going to happen either. If you want something to happen above and beyond what is in the game, you need to at least give me a reason or explanation. In your case, you said you wanted to damage armor AND do the same amount of hit points, so I asked you, "How would you do an attack differently than a normal attack?" I.e., on a normal attack, you're hitting as hard as you can anyway to both armor and wearer, and that's already rolled up into the rules. Mouton gave me an answer, but his scenario was different, because he's targeting the armor instead of the person, so I ruled that you could try that, but at a penalty and damage to the wearer would be reduced (as the weapon is trying to damage the armor straps rather than penetrate the person as much as possible).
