This can't be avoided if you want to go this rout ... if you are wearing breast plate and get hit in the leg why get DR? Then you get into the problem of aiming for unarmored locations, and if hits against certain locations do more damage, or have any sort of special side effect (too much damage to the leg hinders movement, etc.).You then should come up with a system for keeping track of how much damage a piece of armor has taken to know when it is destroyed and needs to be repaired.And lastely, you need to change meele attack bonus to use Dex instead of strength to be consistent, however this will most likely unbalance the stats a bit and overpower Dex.</blockquote>
