Two Ideas: Random Armor Protection & Armor Without Armor Protection

[samwise7]

Hey Tim, if you are looking for ideas for future Libran Novus PDFs how about these two?

1) Instead of a static number that armor reduces damage by how about a random amount in the form of dice?  If you want to stay with D10s you could do something like:
1D10
1D10 -5 (1 min)
2D10
1D10+5
etc.

2) Going another way altogether how about getting rid of the armor protection altogether and just adding an amount to Def? 

Thoughts?

If you are going to put them in a PDF, maybe don't elaborate on them too much here.

interesting ideas both.....

anybody with ideas for options should post them here as well.. kinda like repository of ideas to be developed into official options...

Another idea: Ignoring the Imploding 1s dice rule and just focuse on the normal total of the dice and the exploding 10s.  In this system only Snake Eyes (double 1s) would be a botch where something really terrible happens.

I like that one -- simplifies things a little bit and put control of the botch back into the hands of the GM to control... And with that option, anything less than TN (excluding snake-eyes) is simply a failure to accomplish the task.
