If fixing damage to my armor costs 27 gp and takes a week, but fixing the damage to my meat is free and only takes eight hours, then that's a strong incentive for me to not wear armor. Monks and sorcerers benefit heavily in this scenario, while paladins and fighters lose out. Unless you do something to compensate the armor-wearing classes for this additional expenses, players have no reason to play one of those classes instead of one of the many alternatives; but if you do give them something to compensate, like higher AC or more HP or something, then you risk upsetting the balance of the game even further than it already is.</blockquote>
