Hi there,

last session a question about armor and damade dealt by traps occured. We do play the German version of the game so take it easy with translation. A trap card, like a crushing block, says it deals 4 points of damage ignoring armor. Does this mean it ignores the total armor of the target? Or does it just ignore armor provided by equipment cards/treasures and the "base armor"of a hero ist still subtracted from the damage?

Ignores total armor.

Seconded. If the figures natural armour is 1, but they are wearing chainmail which gives them +2, this means they have an armour rating of 3.

Traps that ignore armour would ignore all of this. Note also that you cant use shields to reduce the damage either because of the text on the shield card
