That when you reach the end of the Combat Round, those with CAs left get to act again.<br /><br />As for the variant armor method, you don't need a skill or monetary investment to bring the armor back to its maximum. As stated in the rules for the Armor Track Variant - "The Armor Track still refreshes to its maximum value at the end of the encounter." The repairing of armor is simply another optional mechanic that can be incorporated. For epic fantasy games, I suggest using the Armor Track Variant for PCs where the armor degrades with each attack instead of just ticking off the entire armor track in a single hit. However, it still resets to its maximum value at the end of the encounter.<br /><br />Thanks again for his great write-up!Aaron T.
