[QUOTE="mrpopstar, post: 7449533, member: 25352"] The more I've thought about it, the more it seems like the Dex max 2 is enough of a control factor in terms of who would elect to don medium armor. Coupled with Str 11, it would still succeed at the same outcome. (Definitely thinking about it.) I like the rate of traded blows in 5th Edition, and I don't want to shut down talks, but healing and HP are an aside to the focus of this thread. :) I think there's a general consensus as to what constitutes being lightly, moderately, or heavily armored. Protection trends from soft and pliable to hard and articulated. Materials reflect culture, geography, and economics. A Dex max is an interesting consideration for the shield. My only hesitation is the Dex modifier toggling that takes place as you doff and don the shield in the midst of combat. Is it fiddly? Definitely an interesting thing to think about. Really, what I wanted to do was boil armor down to its purest base and see what we were left with. [/QUOTE]
