If someone wants armor that is based on kinetic absorption and want to be immune to knockback, they really should take another U quality to suck up knockback, or take the No Physics extra for the defends quality.

Armor protects you from damage, but won't anchor you down, unless you bought an Attached useful quality like "weighs a lot" that keeps you from being moved. I'd base the knockback distance on the base damage. This is a measure of kinetic force, whether one takes damage or not.

I was just wondering if anyone has an official ruling on how knockback and armor interact? Since base knockback is determined by shock and killing damage, I'm tempted to base the base knockback amount on how much damage would do *before* armor - it seems to make sense that someone hit by a 5SK attack (with the Mass quality, 6+ dice, etc) would get knocked back significantly even if they've got 5hd in Heavy Armor and thus aren't going to take any damage from the attack...--
