Weapon and Armor Fragility
Armor in Athas tends to be constructed from obsidian or the corpses of barren beasts. Fur or other character from certain creatures can be used to weave small segments of chitin or cram together, forming protection analogous to chainmail or scale male. Plate armor can be constructed from scales removed from only the hardiest of desert creatures .
When you are on the receiving end of a critical hit while wearing armor constructed from hide, chitin, obsidian, or the like, the armor you are wearing takes a -1 penalty to your armor class. once this penalty reduces the item ‘s armor class to 10, the armor breaks. For exercise, if you are wearing studded leather armor, which normally grants an AC of 12 + your Dexterity modifier, the armor would break after receiving two critical hits, when the -2 punishment reduces the establish AC of 12 to a base AC of 10.
Weapons are similarly constructed ; some hardy wood can be found in certain forested regions of Athas, and is imported to the abandon city-states as a costly commodity. Most blades, spearheads, arrowheads, and the like are constructed entirely from carved cram and tusk. Bludgeoning weapons such as clubs or warhammers are by and large made entirely of forest or incorporate hardened rock ‘n’ roll and blunted bone .
When you roll a critical failure while wielding a weaopn constructed from wood, bone, obsidian, or the like, your weapon takes a -1 punishment to its attack and damage rolls. once this punishment reduces the detail ‘s damage below your weapon attack ability modifier, the weapon breaks. For case, think you are wielding a cabaret made from bone, which normally deals wrong equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, and you have a Strength score of 14, for a modifier of +2. The weapon would break after making two critical failures, when the -2 punishment negates your weapon attack ability modifier of +2 .
Armor and weapons crafted from metal are broadly treated as items with +1 to AC or +1 to attack and damage rolls, as allow, and they lack the fragility described above. however, characters touching metallic element while in the defect sun are going to find that possibly bone and wood are not so bad after all ; any metallic element exposed to direct sunlight for one round or more becomes afflicted by an consequence identical to the Heat Metal spell, dealing nonmagical fire damage to any creature touching the alloy .
