It doesn't work. Those rules assume human-sized figures (and a much easier path for attribute increases).

My armor rules provide a more flexible and nuanced approach.

For oversized figures, however, the ST requirement for each armor type logically has to go up. For example, in my framework, CHAIN requires 9 ST to wear effectively. For large 1-hex figures like reptile-men, the ST requirement is 12. A centaur (2-hex) needs 16 ST and a 3-hex giant (who starts with a base ST of 18 in my game) is looking at 21 ST to avoid additional penalties.
