The Combat System and House Rule Proposals

[Havard]

I don't see where armor is reducing the chance to hit in the RAW. They work as a separate roll, only affecting damage.

Youre right. Looks like I misread the rules first time around. That means armor should not affect the Defense Rating in my house rule variant either. Just subtract from damage. I actually like that better. I'd still prefer a set number instead of a roll to determine if the armor has any effect.

Alternately we could introduce a RuneQuest style Critical Success on the attack rolls which causes attacks to penetrate armor. Just tossing out ideas for now

Thanks for the input mr Hobbit!
