Some Armour and ENC notes

ArmourOn psychon I use piece armour and to have most strangers in greaves and hero harness in most cases.

I use personal discretion how much is stackable but mostly suits win out in long run for weight and mobility. Skills WP to enhance armour, move better, use shields, use capes and dodge to increase AC are available.If your body has different armour types an enemy could make a called shot against the weakest individual one.

A Gladiator with a full helm and hero harness and plate arm +4 AC 12lb but a called shot could target his bare flesh with zero armour. Skilled fighter could actually get an advantage over this partial armour.

A Gladiator with full helm, hero harness, metal leg greaves and vambraces and a small shield would get +6 14lb and his lowest AC is +1 vs a called shot
Piece armour sounds gross but weaker vs called shots. A called shot is normaly -4 but a called shot specialty NWP (halves penalty for called shot) would effectively give the attacker +2 to hit piece armour which is an interesting aberration for bean counting rule breaking players.
Im considering allowing a DEX save vs any thrown or launched missile to be avoided at long range for an attack action if you can see it coming - or have a WP skill do it. Skill could be linked to martial arts arrow cutting tree of WP or something

Quality
also changes value, time to make and scarcity. Cheap inferior or uncared for old armour with -2 on AC score available at a discount and is common. Some suits recycled fro many other suits.

Crafters skill could improve or decrease +/- 1 AC and or MV score
Metal could improve or decrease +/- 1 Copper or inferior bronze or iron
Magic could improve more

Some armour could be ablative and lose a point every hit

Guns and high tech armour
Low tech armour is half vs any gun
Plastic polymer armour common in riot suits half weight and halves movement mods
Powered armour usually no mass penalty and may enhance MV score and ENC
High tech ballistic armour works at full vs guns
Very high tech energy weapons might ignore all low tech armour
Very high tech armour and force fields resist energy weapons at full
Some possible resistances vs specific energy types like reflec or mirror armour
Ablative armour vs energy attacks available or spray on ablat
Some high tech armour poorer vs low tech by as much as -4

Encumberance
Can do by pounds or just estimate or just use amount of MV modifier from armour type

No ENC up to STR in lb no mods usual street clothes and a hand weapon
Medeum ENC up to STRx2 lb -1MV light armour and weapons
Heavy ENC up to STRx5 lb -2MV 1/2 swim and athletic skills, heavier weapons and armour
Very Heavy ENC up to STRx10 -3MV 1/2 swim skill roll to not sink and all athletic NWP skill rolls and DEX saves, no DEX bonus on AC
Over ENC max of STRx20 -6MV sink like a stone and fail almost any test or DEX roll

Notes
It is a nice start and needs to be play tested a bit.

Rogues could benefit from this too possibly automatically hitting a choice location. I'm usually happy to estimate movement and encumbrance classes. I just increase when they are loaded with loot then need to flee are tired and if they sink like stones in the briny deep
