Again just posting thoughts. I've heard people complain about newbies wearing the best armour for years.

What if there was a level restriction placed on it? Now I know I've heard the objects too, but how about this suggestion.

As most people are aware, armour has a 'wield' or 'skill' much like weapons. You don't need it to wear the armour, but to be able to chant/rune it.

To get an idea. Laen armour, with TA and 3 150% protection runes and a featherweight rune is about 160% "wield".

I would suggest that much like casting skills, people would require 1 combat level per 5% of armour "wield". So to wear laen armour with TA and 3 GM runes and a featherweight you would need to be 32c, more or less.

Triple runed TA armour would probably be in the low-mid 20s.

You wouldn't be able to have TA until level 11c or so at the very earliest.

Comments and ideas?
