This means that all fighting styles have to be equal to each other. So light armor + dex = heavy armor is here to stay. That high Dex has so many other Advantages doesn't matter much to WotC because it only affects out of combat stuff which is not as important or only affects you when you play the wrong role (fighter with a ranged weapon? U r doing it wrong says WotC)Also in the current pop culture, shining knights in armor are out. Swashbucklers like Aragon and Jack Sparrow are the current cool guys so WotC will certainly not make them weaker as those lumbering armored guys (because pop culture says that plate armor weights 80+ kilos and knight could hardly move or climb on a horse.)Thats also one reason of why shields are so weak. Which pop culture cool guy uses a shield? Shields are for sissy red shirts who are too afraid to be cool as are helmets.</blockquote>
