With the toys damage track, so the 'damage' is actually a roll to see which sort of damage you take?  It could almost work off an attack roll, D&D style - roll to hit and if you get their full AC they're hurt. Hit their 'touch' AC and it still gets armour or equipment, and a critical means an internal system? (sorry don't know what sort of dice rolls you're using)

You could lump 'armour' and 'equipment together - or 'equipment' and 'hit points' for that matter - since you'll probably need a roll to see which piece of equipment got destroyed anyway, you could include your 'armour' or 'hit points' on the list as an item.

Quote from: One Horse Town;373493I was thinking along these lines for the damage track mentioned in a previous post

3                
Helmet                              
Gauntlets            
Breastplate                        
                                       
2
Flashlight
Shovel

4
Winded
Surface Wound
Minor Wound
Major Wound

3
Voicebox
Batteries
Skeleton

Therefore, with the 6 damage mentioned in that post, the character would be winded.

Characters will have different damage tracks depending on what they are capable of carrying and what modules they have. So the same 6 damage to someone without armour might go all the way to the Internal damage section.

Quote from: LordVreeg;373494so what happens to the helmet, shovel, etc?  
Are they damaged at all?  In most systems i'd say maybe yes, maybe no, but in a damage track, I think it seems more likely yes.

Quote from: One Horse Town;373520At this point i'm thinking along the lines of a type of 'saving throw.' Roll a dice, results - 1,2 cosmetic damage, 3,4 damaged (some kind of modifier to usage), 5,6 destroyed.

Quote from: Xanther;373652All well and good for a PC, but what of the GM who has a gaggle of orcs to deal with?  Same tracks or not?

This was always my problem with armor gets hurt systems.  The sheer amount of book keeping and dice rolling I'd have to go through.  But then again, large battles with 30+ total combatants is something we seem to do fairly often.
