So theoretically... : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu Aug 27, 2009 4:25 pm

Ya, i'm bored. How did you notice?
But just for [censored] and giggles, decided to run some calculations...

Remnants Power Armor - 28 DT
Remnants Power Helmet - 8 DT
Sub-Dermal Armor - 4 DT
Toughness Rank I - 3 DT
Toughness Rank II - 3 DT
Whiskey Rose + 100 Survival - 6 DT
Stonewall + Unarmed Weapon - 5 DT
Nerd Rage + Low Health - 15 DT

So all together that is... 72 damage threshold (enough to bounce off a Displacer Glove)
Mix in Slasher + Med-X + Rebreather... 53 damage resistance
That is alot of durability.

Indeed, this thread has no purpose.

This is enough to make deathclaw swipes look like cat scratches.

Unoriginal and uninspired. Besides, this actually was pretty neat.

DT = Damage Threshhold. It directly subtracts the damage done to you in simple terms.

You have 25 DT.
Enemy has Hunting Rifle.
Rifle does 35 damage.
Enemy shoot you.
25 DT absorb 25 damage.
Enemy do 10 damage.

Have I made myself clear?

I like that idea! :yes:

I'm so rolling a new character to do this.

Someone forgot to add a Nuka Quartz, up to 6 DT I think. Also, can't ignore the fact that at least 20% of weapon damage will be unaffected by DT. I'm not sure, but I think that critical damage ignores DT/DR entirely.

No, critical does not bypass DT or DR. But it does add on top of damage before subtract by DT.

What you are seeing is DR at work. Deathclaw does like 125 damage so your 75 DT only reduce it do 50. However with DR50 it drops to 50~20 depends on what armour you are wearing..
