Talk:Armour

Examples

Hard Leather Armour provides 4 points of Worn FT Protection.

Fire Armour provides 4+4/rank Aura Ablative Damage Reduction vs Magical Fire.

Rk 11 Armour of Earth provides 1 point of Natural Damage Reduction.

Funky shield when Wielded provides 1 FT Protection to attacks from front two hexes.

Funky magical armour is Worn and provides 10 FT prot, 5 EN prot, 3 Magical DR, 3 DR vs Undead Draining.

Funky cloak is Worn and provides 5 FT Protection.

Magic Ring provides a daily Aura of 10 Ablative DR vs Magic & Physical

Our Hero with Funky Amour, Shield & Cloak, Magic Ring, rk 5 Fire Armour, rk 11 AoE has:

• 20 ablative vs fire (Fire Armour)
• 10 ablative vs all (ring)
• 11 or 12 off FT blows (1 from AoE + 10 from armour (greater than 5 from cloak) + sometimes 1 from shield)
• 6 off EN blows (AoE + Armour)
• 3 off all magical damage (Armour)

When hit by 40 points of Dragon Flames, the Aura applies first, 20 vs Fire is more than 10 vs All so it applies reducing damage by 20. Then the spell is resisted reducing damage by half to 10. The Wielded shield doesn't help. Worn armour reduces by 3. No Natural protection from magic so net damage applied is 7.

I feel that this is a significant change to the stacking rules which allows considerably more stacking than we currently have, rather than a clarification. --Bernard (talk) 19:15, 20 February 2014 (MST)

Really.

Would you care to clarify your position or are you stacking objections?
Jim Arona

The proposal sets up four layers of 'same bonus' stacking which currently isn't possible by default, obviously special exceptions can apply.
So this makes it a significant change to what currently exists, rather than simply clarifying things.
