Hey gang, just picked up VDS and wow, what a book. Can’t wait to play this and start hacking it for my own purposes!
I have a question and maybe it’s something I just missed, so go easy on me I just got the book a couple of hours ago.
When you’re applying hits after an attack do they always go to armor? When do hits go to gear? Can I kill an enemy without having to destroy all of their gear?
If there’s a simple answer I missed somehow could you please give me the page number.
Thanks in advance!
Most general hits will target the armor. I would usually allow the players to decide which one, but sometimes the enemies get specific.
Enemies and players might also target gear, but that’s usually part of a skill or when pushing gear. It’s not the norm, but totally possible.
Ok great, thanks for your response. Lemme make sure I’m reading this right. Unless the players want to target gear the hits would go to armor. No armor means dead on the next hit regardless of the gear left. Is that right?
Correct. A hit against a foe with no armor would be a killing blow.
You do not need to tear through armor and then gear. Just armor.
