"Average" Defense with sectional Armor

[MarioTani]

Hy This is my first post to these discussion boards and before asking any question I would like to thank you for the great job:)

 

So that's the question.

 

I'm Running as FH campaign, and now have decided to use some penalty on the armors.

 

In FH192 there are two suggestion to calculate the medium DEF if you use the sectional armor.

 

Is this "average" DEF, whichever method you use to calculate it, the penalty's for the armor as for FH197? Or maybe it's the DEF or the highest piece of armor donned?

 

and keep up with the good work

Thanx for stopping by -- it's always good to hear from our fans in other countries.

 

I'm away from home and don't have my FH in front of me, so I reserve the right to change this answer. If you use the “averaging” of DEF rules from FH to determine the DEF provided by armor, you should use that amount of DEF to determine the weight of the armor, and thus the encumbrance and/or any penalties involved with wearing armor.
