My suggestion would be as before, that a character wearing armor gets to replace their heroic character level bonus to fortitude with the bonus from their armor.  The heavier armors get this in addition to the separate fortitude bonus provided.  I think this would be a minor, but effective tweak, raising the threshold of troopers in their medium armor to 18 and sgt Uthal's to 24.I honestly don't think this would break the bank, considering Jihahna's damage threshold whenever she spends a force point is effectively doubled from 17 to 34...  Probably need to rule that resilience only functions unarmored, otherwise with trooper armor, Jihahna will end up with a damage threshold of 40 under the current rules...  Or 46 if you go with my suggestion with armour bonuses.That way it will be just a little harder to send enemies reeling....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
