It seems there are plenty of (simple) ways to deal with armor.Eric Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196219031821755216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-36832901135486959422016-04-13T19:07:50.165-07:002016-04-13T19:07:50.165-07:00@ Muja:

What do we call that? "Hit Points". Let armor pieces grant additional HP, and let them regenerate after a short rest: punching out dents, adjusting straps, etc, etc. Fighters? They can wear "all the armor": a helmet, gauntlets, boots, chest piece, bracers, greaves... that's a mess o' hit points for your Fighter. Magic Armor? More HP per piece, and they regenerate after a short rest but without player action. "What about AC?" Base AC on the level of armor: None, Light, Medium, Heavy. Done.<br /><br />Perfect? No, but it sure is fast.Mujadaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698839746240695386noreply@blogger.com
