The Table: DN, AC & DR
Who runs the game, how hard you are to hit, and how armor soaks damage.
The DN is the storyteller and referee of the game. Players describe their actions - the DN narrates the results. For an in-depth understanding refer to the DN Guide book.
Armor Class (AC)#
Armor Class Is Base 10 + Dex Bonus + Shield
AC is how hard it is to strike a character or creature when attacking. It starts at 10 + Dexterity bonus + shield.
Attack rolls must meet or beat a target's AC to land a hit.
See Armor and Gear book for Armor DR values.
Damage Reduction (DR)#
DR is how much incoming physical damage is blocked by armor. After a successful hit and any saving throw, subtract DR from the damage. A natural 20 on an attack ignores DR.
DR (Damage Reduction)
DR reduces all Physical damage types: Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing, Fire, Cold, Lightning, Thunder, Acid, Force, Radiant, and Necrotic. DR does NOT reduce Psychic, Poison, Disease, or Suffocation damage.
Rolling a natural 20 during an attack ignores DR damage reduction value.
