Just a quick question about armor in ICRPG: is it like in the Black Hack, as just another set of hit points? I'm asking because a d6 damage isn't going to do much against a static 10 points of armor.

If it's like the Black Hack, does it make much sense to put stat points into the armor?

  1. I stand corrected.

    The sad part is the first mention of the role over mechanic is a side bar in the "Trials" section of the book (pg 49)

    I'll have to remember this when recommending ICRPG as a beginner game since they can't lean on prior experience with D&D to fill in the gaps.

  3. Omari Brooks I have similar problems with The Black Hack. It assumes an internalized understanding of D&D in order to fill in the gaps.
