This is especially true when it comes to messing around with the combat system.Still, what people do with other people in the privacy of their own homes with dice is not my concearn <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Anyway, D&D is best approched from a point of veiw like a computer game like Quake.You have armour, you have hp's and if you run out of hp's you die.Reality and armour are a bit more difficult. Driving a 1D4 piercing weapon through someone breastplate means that they die, usually very painfully and messily. D&D dosnt support that, and I suppose it dosnt need it.Unfortunatly I dont really have anything to add, Im currently writing a space combat system for another game so maybe I'll come back one day to D&D and look at working around damage in the post 3.5 era, maybe we'll get lucky and have armour work after level 20+ too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
