Bizzare Notion

[David Johansen]

What if combat works exactly like it says in the book?

Suppose damage types are cumulative against NPC armor and not against PC armor. I've thought 10+ was a bit high but that would change things wouldn't it?

So a PC gets hit with Bullet-4 Pen-2 and takes 13 and 7 damage against armor 10, and loses the protection and 3 points off their C1,C2,C3. But an NPC takes 20 damage against armor ten and is eliminated.

It's asymetrical but that's true of many game systems. And it fits what's in the book. Anyone want to build a massive spreadsheet and crosscheck the results?

No thanks David, not this Traveller. I prefer to Role Play as opposed to Roll Play(stats play etc).
