Health and Armor In Neoshock, both the health and armor of a unit are divided into several areas. Each area has its individual health and armor properties. Armor Properties - HP. The hit points of an armor piece determine its overall strength and durability. - Defense Value. The defense value determines the % of damage that is absorbed when armor integrity holds. - Base Defense Value. This is the defense value of the armor piece when undamaged. - Integrity (HP/MAX HP, starts at 100%). The integrity is affected by the HP and in turn affects the defense value. - Armor Integrity Threshold. Determined by the integrity and the HP, if this threshold is less than that of the attack rating, armor integrity fails and a substantial amount of damage will go to the armor and through it. Defensive Equations Integrity = (HP/Max HP) Defense Value = Base Defense Value (Integrity) To Pierce: - - Attack Rating > HP Non-Armor Piercing: - - To Armor HP = DMG(100% - Defense Value) - - To Internal HP = DMG(100% - (Defense Value + 5%)) Armor Piercing: - - To Armor HP = DMG * (100% - (Defense Value / Integrity)) - - To Internal HP = DMG Health Properties - HP. The hit points of a health area determine the amount of damage it can take before failing. When a health area fails then all critical effects of that area are applied. - Critical Effects. These are the possible effects that can be applied when a critical hit is scored on that health area. - Critical Threshold. This threshold determines the level of HP that marks the beginning of critical effects rolls.
