Usually the factors for the weapon damage from the attacker and the armor resist from the defender will wash out, making things easy to calculate on the fly.Lowell Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359280169506945906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-92218141889854881612009-12-18T20:09:34.083-05:002009-12-18T20:09:34.083-05:00As usual, greatly enjoying this series.

While this might simulate some physics (ie mass steals momentum from the weapon), in any dramatic genre the brick wearing armor does more damage. By all means, penalize their chance to hit, but not the damage.<br /><br />In a practical sense, armor lets the wearer ignore minor threats and lets them commit more fully to the swing. If you're unarmored, even a subtle cuts can be deadly. If you're wearing light armor it takes a pretty good swing to hurt you. If you're wearing heavy armor, glancing blows can be ignored. This really lets them wade into combat.Gene Hahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389258008505629339noreply@blogger.com
