Default Re: How does Armor Divisor work vs Ablative DR?

So, setting up the scenario: 29 dmg per round, starting with 37 DR and 171 HP. Check.

On hit #32, only 18 DR is in effect against the blow (and are immediately crushed leaving DR 19? I think?) letting 9 HP slip through to reduce HP to 162.
Well, if it's 37 DR (18 effective), and Mrugnak's doing 29 points per round, then 11 HP slip through, reducing HP to 160.

Sadly, this has no real impact on the results since it still takes Mrugnak the same amount of time to make a hole using his AP Mace as it does without. Note, however, that if the base dmg is applied to the DR, it takes him one less round:

Code:
	DR-dmg		DR-pen. dmg	No AP
Rnd	HP	DR	HP	DR	HP	DR
31	171	37	171	37	171	37
32	160	8	160	26	171	8
33	135	0	144	10	150	0
34	106	0	120	0	121	0
35	77	0	91	0	92	0
36	48	0	62	0	63	0
37	19	0	33	0	34	0
38	-10	0	4	0	5	0
39	-39	0	-25	0	-24	0
Interesting exercise, though.
