All body armors over 40 defense need a bump in difficulty by about 2-4 points per category.basically starting at light kuyak would be 13 requirement, while milanese plate would be strength 20 or so, so that only someone going for a balanced or strength heavy build would wear what only strength based people should wear. im tired of 15/21 ballerinas twirling around with longswords and long hafted blades, outrunning me in my heraldic mail.
the specific numbers should be of course worked out according to the game's playability and balance by the balance team, but i feel that agility builds should be more limited in what armor they can wear, particularly concerning plate mail.
