Has it been discussed what types and how many Armour types there will be in Pantheon ?
From the new podcast it sounds like there is a light and heavy plate style ?
The most basic is Light, Medium and Heavy
Will we be breaking this down further into sub categories any further ?
I like the idea of Heavy = full plate and Light plate
Medium = Leather and mail
Light = still working on it.
Druids will be nude because they don't want to have to replace their clothes every time they turn into a bear

I thought they went nude due to the whole nature, hippy and everything should be free thing ?
There really wasn't an armor type in EQ. (light/medium/heavy)
Cloth
Leather
Leather Padded
Leather Studded
Ring Mail
Scale Mail
Chain Mail
Splint/Banded Mail
Plate Mail
In EQ each item, had it's own lore...
Ry'Gorr Armor could be worn by all races & all classes. Wizards looked unique in it... but offered little in stats. Too heavy for a Monk, etc. Not enough AC for any melee.
Yes Wizard wore cloth.. but that wasn't a Class thing, it was solely limited by the fact, that items Wizard found to wear, were only cloth. Until they found items that weren't..
I've always been good with a simple cloth, leather, chain, plate type of breakdown.... that's 4 categories. I can see light, medium, heavy - because that simplifies it a bit down to 3, but "light", "medium", and "heavy" seem sooo much less fantasy than cloth, leather, etc...
And - what Hieromonk said... it's fun to not always have harsh designations on everything.

This is how I pictured it too. Not so much class limited but based on a need. Obviously someone with zero strength would be able to hold too many Plate items before being encumbered.
