You are restricted in what armor types you can find in the game by your level, for example light armor goes roughly like this fur @ level 1, leather @ level 3, chain @ level 6 etc. While this is all fine and dandy and works great for someone who only wears light armor, it makes it feel kind of wonky for someone who wants to mix in heavy armor as well. Speaking of which heavy armor progresses as follows: Iron plate @ level 1, Steel plate @ level 3, dwarven plate @ level 6 etc. So I cannot mix steel plate with chain until level 6 but I can have a full suit of steel plate at level 3 which drives me insane lol@ Dan Bell: Thanks for the recommendation, I checked out harnmaster today, and from what I can see, their system is just a tad to complex for me. I don’t need to be layering armors, just presented with a variety of historical suits, mixed with a handful of fantasy suits.@Thunderfoot: That is an interesting way to look at things; I will have to keep that in mind.Lastly I didn’t mention any rules in my 1st post because I wanted to keep the discussion as close to the concept of armor in RPG’s as opposed to how to tweak an armor system for this game or that game. That being said you guys have given me some great things to chew over and I hope the conversation can continue to be as interesting as it currently is.</blockquote>
