The solution would be to separate the armor bonuses from the weapon bonuses. So you would have a "weapon style" and an "armor style"Weapon StyleLight Weapon - While wielding a light weapon you gain a +1 to attack and damage.Heavy Weapon - Deal 2x Str mod damage while using a two handed weapon instead of the normal 1x Str mod.Pole Arm - If a creature moves through an area you can attack while you are wielding a pole arm, you can spend your reaction to make an attack against them.Archery - You can ignore penalties for shooting through enemies and extend your range by 5 feet while wielding a ranged weapon.Two Weapon - You can add your ability modifier to the damage of your second attack while wielding two light or finesse weapons.Armor StyleLight Armor - While wearing light armor without a shield you gain a +2 bonus to AC.Medium Armor - While wearing medium armor you can ignore disadvantage granted by the medium armor. If the armor doesn't grant disadvantage, then instead you can add a maximum of +3 from your dexterity to your AC.Heavy Armor - While wearing heavy armor you gain a +2 bonus to AC against opportunity attacks or attacks that require a reaction.Shielding Style - As a reaction you can impose disadvantage on an opponent that is attacking an adjacent ally or yourself or who is using a ranged weapon through your space (such as an archer shooting at a target behind you).Then you could mix and match. In addition to make it easier and simpler, we can create 'templates' that players can take to quickly create a character:Swashbuckler - Light Armor, Light WeaponHunter - Medium Armor, Two WeaponSword and Board - Heavy Armor, Light WeaponPole Arm Master - Heavy Armor, Pole ArmSpear Master - Light Armor, Pole Armetc...etc...Not likely to happen at this stage of the development, but that's how I would do it...</blockquote>
