Dumpshock Forums _ Community Projects _ What happens when armor exceeds weapsons rating

Posted by: U_Fester Dec 5 2004, 10:09 PM

A mage is wearing an armor of 4/3. He casts an armor spell of force 6 and succeeds. He new armor rating is now a 10/9.

First what if he is hit with attacks that does 6L, 10L and 12L. Does he shrug off the 6 and 10 and his target number to soak 12 is a 2.

Second someone shoots him with APDS with a power 8M. Is all of the ballistic halved giving him a 5 (half of 10) or only the physical is halved and the magic is fine giving him an 8 (2 half of 4 and plus 6).

Unless it was hardened armor, the TN would always be two.

Not sure about the second one.

Is that a target number of 2 for the 12L or is that a target number of 2 for all damage?

Question: Why are these in Community Projets? They should be in Shadowrun.

"3-Decemeber-04"

That's why

Sorry about that. I reposted all three in the correct forums. Will not let it happen again... unless I get the usual brain fart that is.
