Passive Defense and 4e

Plane · 12-12-2019, 01:15 PM

I do like the idea of defenses and armor working together somehow, like maybe a partially complete parry somehow makes it less likely to pierce DR in 4e. Which I think T-Bone's "glancing blows" rules in Pyramid accomplish, since half the basic damage would mean less likely to get past DR.

If "misses by 1" don't happen frequently enough to be interesting, TB's rules might be tweaked somehow like maybe miss by 1 is 3/4 damage, by 2 is 1/2, by 3 is 1/4 ? Can't get too extreme though or misses will never miss.
