As armorsmith i approve of this.
I like that armor idea.I can make that armor. Model texture bump shaderrig everything. You can look at my models on forum Festung breslau, ElvenPath, ottoman 1453....
I thought taht its armor would be medium , and its weight would be very very low.
I can see that armor being very strong against cutting damage but weak against blunt. I suppose that's all armors though.
Yeah you cant really make an armor only protect from cutting.
that would be cool to have some new armors that havnt been seen in other games already
