heya! atm gloves have the stats of the next lower gauntlet pair, you pay a bit more for a visual difference.
I propose to give them a small weight advantage over their statwise equivalent.
so if for instance black gloves and plate mittens have the same stats, my proposition would let the black gloves become .2 lighter then the plate mittens, and the short plate mittens would become .2 lighter then the gauntlets etc etc.
for the lighter gloves id propose a difference of .1
Short Plate Mittens
weight: 1.2
body armor: 7
difficulty: 13
would become
Short Plate Mittens
weight: 1.0
body armor: 7
difficulty: 13
