Increasing the difficulty to hit a specific part of the body because it's more lightly armored sort of defeats the purpose (taking a -8 to hit the head in order to avoid the 4 points of armor on the rest of the body doesn't make much sense).Off-Topic/Not of much use: I like the HERO System's treatment of armor. In this system, 'AC' is based on mobility/Dexterity etc. Armor doesn't make one harder to hit, it soaks up damage. Therefore, it sometimes makes sense to try to hit a specific target - even though the target number is harder - in order for more of your damage to get through to the body underneath.That said, increased 'realism' makes for more cumbersome rules. There's a reason I play Pathfinder a LOT more than I play HERO. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
