Stacking of Damage Reduction / Resistances

[FalconBR]

And a last question, Isnt DR 7 edge, maybe too right for a third lvl character?

[Sletchman]

You're slightly off.  Here's what you have, plus breakdowns on the math:

Blunt: DR4, 5 in Dramatic Scenes = 2 [Armour] + 1 [Fittings] + 1 [Soldier]

Edge: DR8, 9 in Dramatic Scenes = 2 [Armour] + 1 [Fittings] + 1 [Soldier] + 2 [Earth Heritage] + 2 Resistance [from Armour]

Other: DR6, 7 in Dramatic Scenes =  2 [Armour] + 1 [Fittings] + 1 [Soldier] + 2 [Earth Heritage]

Hope that helps.


EDIT:

Sorry, but I'm not certain I understand what you mean.  If you mean is it too high?  Then, no, I don't think so at all - you are supposed to be tough [you have a feat that makes you harder, armour, and soldier levels.  If your GM designs enemies to hunt you they might want to give them hammers, or heavy clubs - something that overcomes your specific strengths - especially after you gain some more renown.

As long as armor piercing quality doesn´t affect resistances (if I`m not wrong), I wouldn´t mix DR and resistances.

Good point - I don't recommend writing it on a character sheet the way I have listed, I just wanted to show how much total reduction he'd have.

So technically his edged DR would be the same as "Other", but with the addition of Edged Resistance 2.

Since Thick Hide is explicitly stated to have the character "considered to be wearing partial armor", then an armor modification like Fittings is indeed appropriate.  Take a look at classical warriors like Greek Hoplites (and modern versions like the Spartans in 300) for examples of warriors who main armor WAS only fittings. (Perhaps they had Thick Hide of 0)

Hoplites actually wore fairly extensive armor. The dudes in 300 are an example, though.

In actual fact, the Spartan represented from the movie wore breastplates and graves, and possibly vanbraces as well, plus helms. They most certainly were well-armored in real life.

Ah, but the Spartans in 300 had the Pure Essence of Man Tough Hide, which doesn't stack with armour.

[Gentry]

Nah, they had partial leather as a base (leather speedoes even--I won't impugn them by accusing them of having padded, um, armor) and fittings from there.

I think they had the Campaign Qualities: Beefy Heroes, Dominant Heroes, and Larger-Than-Life Heroes.

Most can be modeled as Hardy Vanguards with Shield Basics and Spear Basics, with the leader having the Horde feat chain.

Thanks for the help, and you was right, I misspelled high with right, I am good at English, but I have a condition that I change words for another ones sometimes. Not a big deal.

Just one last question, about AP and Damage Reduction / Resistances:

So, AP doesn't affect Damage Resistances, so, if I get hit with something with a very high AP, like a 10 AP sword, I loose all my damage reduction, but I still get damage resistance edge 2?

Thanks for the info.

PS:I know that it is uncommon AP over 4, so I shouldn't be worried.
PPS: Spartan Hoptile armor was: open helm, iron breast plate with leather back, greaves and vanbraces. The movie was using ancient Spartans, that was obsolete that time.

Correct.
