Fantasy Hero Armor and Weapons Element ?

[winterhawk]

I am planning on running a Turakian Age campaign (my first fanstasy campaign in 20 years!), and in designing a Drakine I came across the following:

 

1) Does Racial Package Damage Resistance add to worn armor, or does the 'No layering armor' rule from Fantasy Hero apply?

 

2) Does taking a Weapons Element: Shields with a MA package negate the OCV penalty using a shield as a weapon?

 

Thanks in advance for your reply.

1. Damage Resistance doesn't "add" to anything -- it just converts some of a Drakine's PD to rPD. His total rPD would include that plus any armor he wears, spells that protect him, etc.

 

2. No.
