[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 3778973, member: 22103"] I've been working on adapting the Dodge/Parry rules from Conan to Grim Tales. Here's how I think I'll handle armor: [CODE]Armor DR Max Dex ACP Light armor Padded 1 8 0 Leather 1d3 6 0 Studded leather 1d4 5 -1 Chain shirt 1d4+1 4 -2 Medium armor Hide 1d4 4 -3 Scale mail 1d4+1 3 -4 Chainmail 1d4+2 2 -5 Breastplate 1d4+2 3 -4 Heavy armor Splint mail 1d4+3 0 -7 Banded mail 1d4+3 1 -6 Half-plate 1d4+4 0 -7 Full plate 1d4+5 1 -6 [/CODE] The Armor Check Penalty will apply to Dodge defense. Dodge defense is Dex-based. It can be used for melee but is required to defense against ranged attacks. The Fast Hero is the only class with "good" Dodge defense. Parry defense is Strength-based and can only be used for melee defense. The Strong Hero is the only class with good Parry defense. I think this system will encourage lighter armor in general but won't penalize those players that want a "tank" build (Strong Hero with low Dex). Also, heavy armor will generally be extremely rare and expensive in the "world" so that will definitely be a controller as well. [/QUOTE]
