I think most people have one defense stat, and armor items just increase it. I find this problematic though: if you're stunned, or paralyzed, or in some kind of state where you can't move, your defense should drop to 1 and you should be vulnerable. Likewise, certain skills (for example "Backstab") might be designed to bypass your defenses. However, armor should be protecting you from damage even if you're stunned, paralyzed, or stabbed in the back.
By the same token, a bludgeoning attack might be good for mitigating the effects of your target's armor, but it shouldn't mitigate the effects of a highly skilled warrior is going to be skillfully defend your big-ass sledgehammer bludgeoning attack.
So, it seems to me like "defense" and "armor" should be two distinct things. Right now I have Armor as simply a percentage reduction in physical damage. Am I overcomplicating things too much? Wondering if anyone else has thought about this same issue, and how they've handled it.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
