Wait a Tic, when a layered suit is breached, does not each of the layers breach? Say, if you were wearing plate on chain on leather, wouldn't each one of those breach separately?
Regardless, my recommendation on the armour rules is as follows. If the player is layering armour, then any covered armour would be worth a maximum of 1 point per location, and studded leather and leather would not stack.
This way, it is still worth it to wear chain, and layering has a very tangible benefit to the player, it just has some diminishing marginal returns.
In this sense, with 28 locations, a player might have 112 points of plate armour, and 56 total in other armours, reducing the max to 168, down from 280 which is the current max.
