@freyja_wildes@social.art-software.fr @efi functionally, as long as the chestplate is still constructed from a single solid plate, it probably wouldn't be much worse. it'd still be easier to hurt someone by going for the gaps in their armour

most fantasy armour, though, is Not constructed like proper full plate, so yes it'd absolutely be a safety hazard

also it just kinda looks weird. it makes more sense to mimic the appearance of a shirt being worn over boobs instead of....whatever that is
