Then partial armor of each type would be 1 point lesser AC and a bit lighter, so if you wanted to wear only the mail hauberk and not the chausses and coif and whatnot, you'd be AC 6 (13 ascending.) I also had considered allowing armor of exceptional quality that would cost five times as much and provide an extra point of AC or a little less encumbrance, or both for 10 times cost. Combined with the partial armor rule, it got a bit crazy, but still kind of cool.waywardwayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338700537762637962noreply@blogger.com
