I allow 4 layers and Just an abstract note - This rings a bell immediately: Why 4? Why not 3 or 5? Don't be confused, I've read your Web page named 'Specifications for Wear Location System' really careful, and I like the idea, actually, I love the idea, but see - there's a common curse to limit ourselves to specific numbers, instead of abstract. OK, let me put it this way: - Let's pretend there are N layers instead of 4. - What logical/physical layers are there, other than 4 mentioned? - What would be the object placement rule for an object? Also, there's a chance for a number 28 to change, too - let's pretend a gauntlet has an extra hook to hang the car keys on it, which just adds 29th location, and so on. > they are described from the outermost to inner most, being blocked > or modified by the transparency property or described differently > when partially blocked by lesser coverage of outer layered objects. Also, just in unlikely case you've forgotten, if something heavy hits you, you may get - a dent on your chain mail - crushed alchogol bottle stashed in its inner pocket (btw, one more wear location) - some bruise on your chest - add by taste > Jon A.
