Re: Ignoring Armor once and for all.
My original reading was that you could have an armor divisor level that ignored DR, but not all things that ignore DR are armor divisors. An apple can be red, but just because something is red doesn't make it an apple.

Re: Ignoring Armor once and for all.
I was going to bring up the "Funniest joke in the world" but that's just a Heart Attack Affliction, it doesn't do damage.
I can think of several things, most would be linked to/have symptoms or side effects, but I can get several ideas that do damage through ones senses. Quote:

Sound: Loud noise. Touch: Heat and Cold (fatigue appropriate). Smell: Toxic gas (respiratory is more appropriate, but the same thing) Any mystical attack could be sense based as well. At the end of Raiders of the Lost ark the ark produced an area vision based area attack that melted anyone that saw it.. |

Oooh. Respiratory Agent also ignores DR. So, hardened DR protects against it as well. Quote:

Re: Ignoring Armor once and for all.
Malediction and Sense-Based aren't meant to interact with Hardened at all. It's very specifically Cosmic that's affected, because Cosmic is really a high level of Armor Divisor. Malediction and Sense-Based aren't high levels of Armor Divisor -- they're something else. And yeah, when we get a FAQ Keeper, we can note this.

It would make a lot more sense if every armor divisor level was under "Armor Divisors" - omitting one (100) and changing the name of another (infinite) really made the situtation rather confusing. If not for threads like this, it wouldn't have occured to me that some cosmics are really cosmic and some are just other things with a different name.

However, I'd like now to invert the issue: how to build an irresistible defense? I mean, not Hardned Cosmic DR, something that you just "use" and puff, attack failed. (As I said, this is for a d20 power I'm trying to model, and it has as a balancing factor of sorts the fact that every use of these abilities drain the user's life force).
