Every one builds for a mithral chainmail now at the least, and the setting already has a big issue with redundant armor types. After the changes I made my DD drop his entropium full plate, in favor of a chainmail as well.. and that to me breaks immersion a bit, for mechanical advantages and circles back to the issue with Acrobatics being mandatory, just like UMD is and now light armors are.
Absolutely 100% agree here. Feels like I'm the last guy refusing to switch from Entropium for RP reasons. Earlier I had propositions how Armor Optimization should enable Evasion/Kip Up but now I'm not sure myself. Still anyone who played BG3 knows Githyanki fly dragons and jump Ilithid ships in Entropium Fullplates! Uselessness of normal Fullplate is also quite daring issue.
