I still think meditation and stealth bonus based on AR would be nice. The problem with default UO armor is that it only allows for plate since it has the highest armor with no penalties. (minus to Dex, etc)
I'm thinking a +10-20 skill-point bonus equivalent to meditation at 0 armor, then it should give diminishing returns up until about 40 AR, including shields.
The problem with this is that it will just encourage people to unequip their plate, meditate, then reequip their plate. :/
One of the base reasons people want other armors is for a different appearance though... what I could do is add new armor models to the game, but that my affect the UO aesthetic.
