Partial armor

[Steve Plambeck]

A truly over-simplistic suggestion, intended only for those who want partial armor to add color to descriptions and narrations:

A partial suit is identical in all respects to a full suit of the next lowest armor type:

Treat partial leather as = cloth, & partial chain as = leather.

The snag being there is already a partial plate armor (Half-Plate) with it's own stats, so you wouldn't wanna say "partial Half-Plate". Fixable by adding one more type to the list -- call it Scale -- that stops 4/a. Then drop half-plate altogether, and let partial plate = scale.

Again, not a solution for anyone who wants hit location effects, just for someone to be able to say "this character is in partial chain male" or the like.
