(That's what bounded accuracy enables).Besides, substraction sucks. It's almost always better if you just make a comparison "is this number bigger". So you add more complexity and "harder" math operations to the game.There has also be no edition of D&D where armor provided damage reduction. Sure, there were supplements, but it was never part of the core experience. This is the all-inclusive edition of D&D for all previous editions of D&D, not the "innovate D&D with entirely new features". It's about getting the core experiences of the past D&D editions right, and that just doesn't include armor giving damage reduction.</blockquote>
