Topic: Hack & Slash Question

[Erik Sharma]

Decided to read through the Hack & Slash rules for HARP, use ML currently and are happy with it so far. But have always liked gritty rules and have only heard good things about H&S so wanted to give it a chance.

Main question: Do you still modify the damage according to armors? Tried a search but couldn't find a definite answer. But considering the question is omitted from the rules completly I would guess the answer is a NO. Just wanna be sure since I'm quite new to HARP so haven't got all the details down yet.

We certainly don't use the damage mods by armour-type rules when using H&S, but that's more of a choice to reduce some of the bookkeeping. I can't see any reason why that section of the ML combat system couldn't be included in H&S, I don't think it would cause any balance issues.
