Ranks of Armor

There needs to be more games that have medium armor as a skill. The way I think it works is that for the overpowering combatant there is heavy armor. This is the player that will charge in take the hits and then hit you really hard. Then there is the mobile combatant. This is where medium armor should be used. If you are the type that like to move a lot during combat medium armor is for you. They need medium armor because it allows one to dodge and because they are still in combat they need something in case they get hit. The third type of armor is light. This armor serves no combat purposes and is meant for out of combat utility. Light armor is for non magical non combat classes. If your a rogue sneaking you cannot wear heavy or medium because it makes too much noise. You need light armor because it makes it easier to move through brush, and climb shit. The only problem is a lot of games do not have medium armor. So if it is a decision as a movement based combatant you have to look into which armor gives you the most mobility. If there is no difference than pick heavy.
