Topic: Suggestions for programs that deal with armor as harm discount?  (Read 1066 occasions)

I feel one of many easiest methods to make use of harm reductions is simply to deal with armor as an armor save.  Warhammer and One Page Rules battle video games do this. 

If it really works for the Ultramarines and Vampire Counts, it will probably work in RPGs.

Yeah. I all the time felt that the assault system of the Warhammer miniatures recreation (to-hit roll by evaluating Skill, to-wound roll by evaluating Str to Con, and an armor save) was a quicker and extra real looking option to do fight than the system within the WFRPG in addition to higher than virtually all position taking part in video games round.

This is just like Stormbringer, a variant of BRP which disbursed with RuneQuest’s hit areas and static armor absorption values for random armor absorption values and no hit areas. It additionally included extra armor varieties and a serious wound threshold.

What I do not perceive concerning the Stormbringer system (if I bear in mind appropriately) is as a substitute of 1 AP you get 1d4 AP for instance. So if you end up attacked the harm of the hit is absolutely decided by a harm roll from the weapon and a harm roll from the armor which looks as if it might be actually swingy. It appears like your doubling up on the randomness for no actual goal.
