Will it be possible and valid to mix dress types to be more versatile in exchange for losing max stats?

TL;DRMixing armor types will be possible and is core to the system, but with trade-offs, as full-suit features and heavier armor weight mean mismatched pieces, like heavy armor without leg support, will no longer work well.

Absolutely. Absolutely. That's core to the whole system.

Yeah, but again, you will be worse in some other ways. You might find that mixing together like some random bits of armor get you exactly what you want, for a very specific situation. But for instance, we're gonna have these full suit kind of features. So there'll be systems and even just kind of weight, you know, the mass support, these things clip together. So right now, for instance, you can put on like a heavy backpack, heavy core, heavy arms, heavy helmet, and then absolutely no trousers, right? Just run around with you. Feeble little legs, somehow holding all that up, and you will be faster currently than if you wore leg armor. So that's going. Like your puny little legs won't be able to carry the weight of that because we're making all armors heavier as well. So you will need the support of this leg armor to make that viable.
