Merlin273 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 If a metal is described as being x3 stronger than something like steel with x3 DEF and BODY, how do I figure it? Say I have an alloy that's stronger than steel by this much. Steel has a DEF of 5 in FH. Would the DEF of this other alloy be 15, do I add +1 per multiple(for a DEF 8)? What would the value be for DEF and Body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this specifically in reference to dynamite and TNT. I would think that if it relates to explosives it would realte to building materials...which would lead me to say maybe DEF 7 or 8. Think about it...what is the DEF of wood? How much stronger do you think steel is as opposed to wood? What the relation to their official DEF? I think that should be the biggest clue...and I, of course, don't have my book handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
