The game can have Armour-as-Avoidance, or it can have Armour-as-DR. Either can work. But trying to do it on a modular basis is a no-go. Well, unless modules are going to be extremely invasive, effectively making a whole new game.

If that's true, it might confirm a suspicion I've had for awhile that I might not want to play a clone of D&D (ala OSRIC) and instead want to play something D&D-esque (ala Old School Hack).

I love leveling up, I love classes, I love XP, I love conquering dungeons and building castles, but the nitty gritty legacy rules.... eh maybe not so much.
