Proposal 1: Increased movements and looser penalties
Infitting with the more water planet theme, Jaernian
armor is lighter and less encumbering.  It leaves
the limbs bare and free for movement.

Leather		2  2  2  50	none

Proposal 2: Increasing the protection of armor to make it fit
	    with its penalties.
In keeping with the current penalties on armor, this proposal
raises the protectiveness of each piece of armor.  In this
proposal, armor is designed as full body, neck to toe covering.

Notes:
 1) On both proposals the protectiveness of chain armor was
	increased vs. missile weapons.  Why?  Because mail
	WILL deflect some blows or absorb the impact of
	said blows far better than layers of cloth will.
	
 2) GDVs did not increase because I couldn't come up with a good
	reason to justify their increase.  The only so so one was
	for chain mail because its fairly clingy and slick on
	the wearer, and that makes it very difficult to get and
	maintain a hold on.

 3) In proposal 3, will be submitted in a few minutes.
