AFAIK, the prot ranges for mundane armors could be expanded, but then all of the magic armor prots would also have to be bumped up and weapon damages would have to be changed as well. A Dom 3 rescaling project might be neat - but, yeah, definitely beyond the scope of this mod.

I guess at a certain point, you allow some things to have higher or lower numbers just because they have a different name, and the intent is to have different capabilities of the units.

Actually, I have no problem with two functionally equivalent things having the same name. I think it is kind of
stylish, actually. (I did that with the Bronze Scale and iron Scale Mail armors, but another poster seemed uncomfortable with that.) Probably a matter of differing tastes....

Hey, glad you dropped by. You challenged a hidden assumption or two, and that is usually a good thing.
