<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New armour save mechanic."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New armour save mechanic. OP, or it may be just stupid.

but here goes.

Armour would, become less effective if it's hunked and damaged.

I'll give three examples, all will be AP1.

a marine with an armour save of 3+.
Would get no armour save.
A terminator with a 2+/5+
would get an invulnerable save of 6.
a terminator with a 2+/3+
would get a 4+ invulnerable save.

So, if you have an AP, Minus that from the units armour save.

I.e. AP1 counts as 6 Sv Points, against a Sv of 2+ and 5+, which is 7 AP points. (5 for the 2+, 2 for the 5+.)

Thoughts?

PS:
If you don't like the idea, that's okay, but don't go on a tangent.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376613.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376613.page GMT Re:New armour save mechanic. This would make units that only have a weak invul save even more fragile if they lose that save to any random ork slugga.
(according to your example, the 3++ terminator would go down to 4++... so I'm guessing AP would affect invul saves)
So a 5+ harlequin wouldn't get a save at all against most weapons?

Just curious, do you even like this game at all? Seems like you more or less want to change everything about it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376684.page GMT New armour save mechanic.
I do like this game, I just thought it might be different.

Trust me, any game I play, I try to change things and make new rules.

It's the most I get out of most board/tabletop games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376753.page GMT Re:New armour save mechanic.
However, did I understand correctly that AP affects invul saves? I think thats harsh on the units that only have a invul save (i.e. daemons) but its a bad one (5+ etc).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376886.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1376886.page GMT New armour save mechanic.
I think we can safely remove damaged to invulnerable save

or maybe halve it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1379744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1379744.page GMT New armour save mechanic. inv save or maybe have it only effect high inv saves like 2++ etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380359.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380359.page GMT Re:New armour save mechanic.

AP, they had a save modifier. The first Necron Gauss Flayers had, I think, -2 Modifier. So Marines had to make a 5+ save.

It was pointless and made the game longer to play.

The method you seem to be suggesting is about the same. The 5th edition armour saves are much, much smoother. I'd rather not see a return to the old days.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380782.page GMT New armour save mechanic.

That was 2nd edition. Third's saves is the same as 4th and 5th. Considering that they have not changed it in 3 editions I don't forsee a change anytime soon. It also makes me think it is a pretty good system.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380788.page GMT New armour save mechanic. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1380849.page GMT New armour save mechanic.
Sounds good.

I just thought it might be a bit more realistic.

I love it as a home game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1383017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1383017.page GMT Re:New armour save mechanic. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1383022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282005/1383022.page GMT
