True, but I am still not too happy about the lower AC.

This is why I need to run your characters through a dungeon, actuly test out my rules. I've got some guys with low AC and good DR and hopefully a character comming in with good AC but low DR... be interesting to see how it goes.

If nothing else, you could also rule that we get a reflex save against melee attacks to avoid them (or half the damage) similar to traps or other effects. That would play off neither AC or DR, and make for more survivable combat situations in my opinion. It also adds an almost cinematic quality to the flow of combat, giving the impression that a quick moving character can dodge blows. A bonus could even be given on the save when fighting defensively to show that the character is more apt to notice an attack coming and be better able to dodge (or parry) it.

That's a good suggestion.

In other news, getting the last character today so I hope to have started the game by Friday.

Players are:
Chessicfayth
The_Haruspex
Shield Wolf
and Darren

I suggest you PM eachother and sort yourselves out as a group as I plan to launch right into this adventure.
