Can high strength make armor flexible?
I've been wondering if there are mechanics in GURPS for a high strength attack treating hard armor as flexible. It seems to me that there should but I can't find anything on it. I only have the 4e Basic Set.
The numbers I've been looking at are: 120 ST, W. M. (claws), Claws (Long Talons), Brawling +2, granting a 26d damage punch (using "Modifying Dice + Add") vs. 280 DR body armor. Anybody know where this is or have come up with some reasonable calculation? Last edited by ARyddle; 09-02-2012 at 11:53 AM. Reason: Typo |

Treating rigid armor as flexible makes no sense that I can imagine. Why would you even want this?

Re: Can high strength make armor flexible?
I can definitely see an Imbuement (Power-Ups 1) that allows you to treat rigid armor as flexible, though.

That would cause knockback, and vs knockback rigid armos is treated as flexible(actually worst, you take 1 for every 5 points).

To the point if your strong enough to bend the metal or other material your just going to ruin it unless it was designed to bend.
The Imbuement idea is a good one though.

I am seeing an image of the Hulk wearing a suit of plate and seeing it crumple and dent all over the place every time he moves (like a suit of foil on a normal person).

though Hulk did wear armor a few times, notably in Planet Hulk and the Microverse.
