Although their ACs are lower (and thus their chance of being damaged is higher), this is more than offset by the reduced damage suffered by attacks. ![]() Low-level combat tends to be less dangerous for armored characters. It’s pretty easy to see the effect of this variant system: attacks hit more often, but do less damage. In essence, the system “gives up” some of armor’s ability to turn hits into misses in exchange for a small reduction in damage dealt by any given attack. Armor still prevents some hits outright, but also reduces the deadliness of attacks that do connect. In this system, armor reduces the amount of damage dealt by an attack instead of merely turning would-be hits into misses. If you’re willing to add a layer of complexity to your combats, consider this variant. (That’s what touch attacks ignore a character’s armor and natural armor-the touch attack only needs to connect to deliver its effect, and need not actually breach the target’s armor.) An attack that fails due to a character’s armor or natural armor doesn’t really fail to connect, but rather fails to connect with enough force to deal any damage. That system simplifies the realities of battle in order to streamline combat resolution.
