WITH THE LATEST RULES AS WRITTEN: are there armour points for weapons/shields (I guess the answer is NO)? Strictly speaking this is correct. are there hit points? (yes) Yes. how does a weapon lose HP after a parry? See the table on page 193 - basically, when an attack is of a greater degree of success than a successful parry, or the parry is a greater degree of success than a successful attack, the object that was less successful is damaged for a few points (2 or 4 for parrying Weapons, 1 or 2 for Attacking weapons).

But you only deduct from the parrying weapons or shields HP when it has parried a blow that is a level of success higher than the parry itself.

Atgxtg Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Doesn't this mean that a guy with no db can now damage (and eventually break) a sword or other weapon by punching and getting better levels of success?

Well, technically yes - but the fundamental point is that DB has no direct bearing on damage to a weapon: it's difference in success levels that determine whether a weapon is damaged or not. And frankly I think that is a good approximation of how weapons get damaged (at BRP typical "operating level of detail"). Part being skilled with a melee weapon (for attack or defence) is in controlling WHERE your opponents blow strikes your parrying weapon - and THAT IMO has far more influence on the damage to the parrying (or attacking) object that the combatants raw strength or body mass.
