Am I misunderstanding, or is the following scenario possible?
You've got a big troll with lots of armor, a big physical track, and a small physical track. He's been shot many times, but because of his armor it's all been converted to stun. His stun track is one box from full. His physical track is empty. If he gets shot again, it will undoubtedly be stun, because he has so much armor. Due to his armor, he may soak much of it, but even one box of damage will finish him. He will be unconscious and at the mercy of his enemies, who have no mercy. So he strips off his armor. Now, if he gets shot, it will definitely be physical damage. More boxes than he would've taken from stun, but hey, at least he'll still be up and functioning. Right? note: I just want to say, I am aware that extreme cases always mess up the rules, and this is definitely an extreme case. But if the extreme character is made (which doesn't strike me as so unlikely) then the situation becomes much more likely (for that character). Of course, SR3 also had the situation where, after a melee, a character could be incapacitated by a gentle slap but could keep going after being shot several more times, but it never behooved the character to remove armor! |
