Swords and plate
Another post brought up a fact I knew about but have long forgotten.
Swords can't pierce plate armor. In reality, never on a cutting attack, Thrusting, with 2 hands you might only pierce A few centimeters. In gurps any mook with about 14 15 st Can many a swing attack and reasonably best 6 DR with a sword. Using basic set numbers here. Does anyone have house rules that address these issues? Obviously, this concerns more realistic games. I was thinking maybe plate has an armor multiplier of 2 vs swords, unless a successful attack is made by targeting chinks |
