Armor should be functional. I won't play a game where armor is just cosmetic. I'm fine with some characters having innate magical force fields or "aura" that gets stronger without armor to obstruct it, thus allowing those characters to be durable regardless of armor. But that should be the exception, not the default. I mean this for all characters in the setting. If the majority of PCs and major NPCs wear a ballgown or business suit into battle, then that's fine. If absolutely everyone does it, then that's just fucking stupid. I like armor. Armor is cool. Let me have armor, with all the benefits and complications implicit. Don't take that away from me.
