Heavy Armor DR
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2020 2:39 pm
Heavy Armor receives X/- DR vs Physical equal to the wearer's base Constitution modifier.
ex: A character with 16 CON has 3/- DR applied to their Full Plate as a temporary property.
This is just a jumping off point. I'm not sure how unbalanced it would get if it used the full CON modifier or whether a multiplier is necessary to make the protection meaningful. A level based limiter may also be necessary to prevent heavy armor providing effective invulnerability at low levels. Medium Armor could also receive a similar bonus, with reduced effectiveness.
