Seth S that's a chameleon prize for you, for everyone else here's some post-apoc armour stuff that I had kicking around for a now dismantled project. Anyway so you have your armour categories which do what ever armour does in your setting. You need a minimum of  X pieces of armour to qualify for that category.

Armour categories Light 2 pieces
                             Medium 4 pieces must include chest armour
                             Heavy 6 pieces must include chest armour and  either a helmet or greaves and gauntlets
                             Very Heavy : Must have 2  relics/high magic/ power armour etc

Items with a + beside them count as 2 pieces. Items with a - break if an attack roll rolls exactly what it needs to hit  you. Do I need to say that you can only effectively wear one piece of each type?

    1. Except chameleons did not involve from dinosaurs , Reptiles branched off from the dinosaurs ancestor way before there were dinosaurs. I just thought I would share that

    1. Butts. I thought that was how you spelt it . Pauldron is what I meant. But now that I look it up I guess I'm thinking of a Gardbrace.
