Re: (TFT) New file added to Rick's rules. New Armor in TFT.

Hi Jeff, 
  I am assuming that you have read the "Advantages of Great ST" article which
describes the advantages of high ST on armor in detail.  

  Actually, you have it backwards.  At the No Negatives #, neither your DX or MA
is penalized.  At the Threshold #, you start to be penalized less, starting with DX.

  If there are not rules on something, treat it as per normal.  This is particularly
true for names.

  Warm regards, Rick.

Then, at the No Negatives Number, you state that "your great strength is kicking in" and you suffer one less DX penalty.  Since the Threshold Number precedes the "No Negatives Number" in each case, does that mean that when you get to the no negatives number, your DX actually IMPROVES by one (say, if your base DX is 12, due to your great strength, it now becomes a 13)?  This is the same issue I had with the Great Strength rules a while back -- it seems internally contradictory and clearly not what you intend.  Can you please fix the description to make it clearer?
