Everything's Conditional

zoncxs · 06-15-2022, 10:50 AM

I have been working on putting together my world book for one of my settings. In the process of that I am working on my house rules. What I am working on right now is the fusion of The Broken Blade (pyramid 3/87), Conditional Injury (Pyramid 3/120), and the rules for damaging armor (Low Tech companion 2).

It is a lot of work, but I like it so far. The biggest challenge is with the armor. I need to create stats for them that does not exist. HP/ST to then get converted into Robustness Threshold, HT score too.

My main issue right now is WHAT happens to the armor as it gets damaged. Low-Tech has the DR cut in half if HP is less than 1/3, but with conditional injury that does not exist.

What do yall think?

IIRC, "<1/3xHP" is Severity -1 and "0 HP or less" is Severity 0 in "Conditional Injury".
But in my experince applying CI to armor was quite useless as most armors have RT around 5 with Homogenous (or Diffuse!), and wound accumulation checks for PC and for his armor was taking for me too much time at table.
I *think* tweaking and adapting "Broken Blade" for shattering armor can do that better.
