#9677, "RE: Uh..."


          

Yeah, and I know it. Which is why I suggested reducing it's max utility. That was the _only_ thing that truly affects real combat that is based off AC. The whole sub-point was "ditch AC entirely, fix Gates such that it doesn't need it".

Make gates rock if you're wearing full armor and a shield (well, make it as good as it is practical to attain now). Make it less good with just full armor. Make it increasingly less good as you move towards nekkid. Make it ratio'd off gear level vs your level in all slots.

Lots of options on how to have the skill do its intended job with its intended difficulty and utility without relying on something old, dumb and broken.

But the whole Gates thing is just one tiny thing thrown out off to the side of the main post. One subpoint of the only thing you'd have to think about and fix if you just scrapped AC entirely. The revision was to account for the fact that it's easier to cover ever slot than it is to break X number of thousands of AC.
