There are limbs in the armors, but they are disabled, not to complicate things
After having made all armors having body, arm, and leg protection values, we decided that it would confuse and complicate more than neccessary. We kept the head hit location as there already were item slots for head, and it is fun to feeblemind someone with a headshot
Most armors had lower prot in limbs, but limb hits would never give you more than 50% of max hits in a single blow. Something like that.
Code wise the differentiated prots are still there, but the armor value is a function of them all.
