Can't countermagic plate though :wink:
Once you reach a certain point armor no longer matters. By the time characters are tough enough to face the likes of Wyrms and Dragonsnails and Iron Armored Runelords they will be able to bypass armor at ease. Armor will simply not be a factor in many fights.
Trollkin skill less than 40 are totally innefectual against decent armor. But skill 45 or up are way more deadly. A 60 skilled foe would have had to crit (3 or less) to hope to penetrate good armor, now they have a 20% to ignore it completely.
