≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪
- We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?
After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.
This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.
e. Armor System
Armor System
Armor acts as an extension of a character's HP pool for added defense.
To search for a specific piece of armor, use CTRL+F.Armor System Overview
- Armor increases a character's HP pool for added defense until it is destroyed.
- Armor condition is persistent throughout a single event, meaning the added HP can deplete over multiple combat scenarios and cannot be restored by medical items.
- Once a set of armor is destroyed, it must be replaced; it cannot be used again.
- All armor sets in the game are split into three categories: Civilian, Police, and Military.
- Civilian armor provides +5HP.
- Police armor provides +10HP.
- Military armor provides +15HP.
- Armor-Percing attacks deplete the target's base HP pool.
- When making an Armor-Piercing attack, roll 1D5 in addition to your weapon's base damage to determine how much damage is sustained.
- So as to not complicate the system, only armored vests are taken into account.
- Unique variants of armor can be dropped by bosses at the end of a combat scenario, looted during events, or received as a reward for completing quests.
- Below are lists of the three categories of armor and their respective defense boosts.
