Re: Robotics and DR: they cannot hurt each other.
What if you treat this like your plate armor is an ally and he is wearing the armor?

Re: Robotics and DR: they cannot hurt each other.
Innate DR, without the force field modifier, does not protect worn gear, including armor. If you can apply innate DR before applying worn armor, that innate DR can help against corrosion attacks, and, for worn ablative armor, ablation. Therefore, innate DR must be applied after applying worn armor.

Re: Robotics and DR: they cannot hurt each other.
It's intuitive to apply them in the physical order they're in. Armor is not under skin.

That's not worn armor, that's innate DR.

Re: Robotics and DR: they cannot hurt each other.
True, what about "Skinbound" (H19/F131) then? As a gadget it has HP/DR but you wear it, so it probably could function as some kind of armor until you actually activated it to go into werewolf mode. Probably also how it works in "Song of the Sea" for selkies.

Re: Robotics and DR: they cannot hurt each other.
So the order in which armor is applied varies based on the attack? And what do you do if natural DR is ablative and worn armor is flexible?

How about just ignoring the word 'injury' and instead apply the blunt trauma as 'damage'? Yeah, I'm probably doing this... |
