Thread: Armour Break
depends how you think of it.
it's pretty unrealistic to think of innate armor as your skin.
what, you went through your teras kasi training and all of a sudden your skin is steel? not very likely.
i prefer to think of innate armor as more of a combat-hardened 'innate defense', where the teras kasi training has taught your toon to have a certain level of natural defensive toughness, to transcend pain and doubt in a higher level of awareness. and then, you can think of Center of Being as a meditative state that allows your toon tofocus his mind and body (and spirit) in perfect unison, improving his reflexes and bolstering his defense to the extreme levels of human (and non-human) ability.
so thinking that way - armor break would be a special that is used to distract, confuse, and stun a teras kasi artist and prevent him from focusing his mind and body to the best of his ability, reducing his trained 'innate' defense.
that's kind of a cool RP'ish way to think of it.
and, i disagree that we should be immune to armor break... i think it would unbalance things too much. TKM armor +cob is already uberkanuber.

No. Armor should work like armor, and be vulnerable to armor break. Consider it breaking a TKA's concentration or such.
