Hybrid Armor

Intro
* Hybrid Armor refers to armor that has distinct and clear areas that are made up of different materials to cover larger sub-areas within a target-zone. (Refer to the image to see these areas)
** Armor can only maintain hybrid status if differing armor materials are clearly defined and cover one of the sub-areas within a target-zone.
*** For Example: The forearms would be considered a sub-area of the larger target-zone of Arm.
* Areas with differentiating materials must have significant material present to warrant corresponding tier protection.
** For example: If a chain-plate hybrid shirt wishes to utilize the plate-tier levels of protection, the plates present must be large enough to cover one of the sub-areas within a zone (Such as the buttocks of the torso zone)
=== Important Rules Concerning Hybrid Playability ===
# If multiple items of armor are worn on top of one another, the armor that is visible or worn on top is the armor that will dictate the tier-protection.
## For example, wearing a leather pauldron over a fully-sleeved chainmail shirt will warrant leather-armor level protection for the pauldron area, even though there is actually chain underneath. (Because it is not immediately clear in battle)
# If any part of the armor zone has been nullified, then the whole zone is nullified. (Torso, arms, legs) Regardless of differentiating tiers.
## For example: A fighter is wearing a hybrid plate-chain torso. He then takes blue damage to the chainmail portion, this also ‘breaks’ the plate portion of that zone, even though plate-tier armor would offer an additional point of defense in other circumstances.
