[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 8337451, member: 6788732"] I'd keep things simple and follow the original 2e books, keep all armour the same as in the PHB, make heavy armour largely unavailable (ie., more expensive) as it has to be made from metal, though with the possibility of local materials being used for heavy armour with an increase in price. Any metal armour exhausts the wearer due to wearing it in the heat of Athas, that could be disadvantage on attack rolls after a few rounds of combat or even actual exhaustion (this could be quite punishing but also, quite rare as metal armour should be almost non-existent).
