Question about the surround bonus

[Arryn]

Argh! That's my fault. I meant to add that in, as I did with section 6.4.2 (re: hitting with magic). It's now on my list for the next release. Sorry, and thanks for the catch.

So being surrounded does not affect protection (which makes sense since prot is raw armour), not even to the extent of the shield being ignored or something along those lines?

Might be a nice additon, i.e. if getting attacked from behind any shield protection should surely have a chance of being ignored, etc?

Apart from that I cant think that there should be any prot penalty for being surrounded, I suppose there are always AP and AN attacks to deal with high prot whereas as high defence has no counter except surround?

[archaeolept]

well, fatigue increases the chance for armor penetrating hits, so I think that's already covered...

[Soapyfrog]

Fatigue isnt much of a problem for an SC with life drain, of course. Barring that like I said I dont think its a super important issue.
