I was trying to get less armour worn by people as the IK I'm running isn't Big'n'Clunky(tm) :) It is much more of 17th century feel with armour mostly being worn by the military, and then mostly breastplates. Worked too, te only one in my group of seven humans who wears armour is the old sergeant Llealese Umbrean who wears a breastplate. Everyone else wears greatcoats of differing fashion.

In this case, it would be the moral equivalent of making the Fighter and Paladin classes get the same AC progression at Arcane Mechaniks and Wizards, but let it work with their Plate Mail and Shields unimpeded.
