Not in this release, and we're not making any commitments to the future either. Changing the weight/hinderance of armor has a very definate impact on combat...every piece of armor introduced into the game is tested completely from the lowest circles to the highest to make sure it isn't trouble for the game...this is a complicated enough task with static figures. Add dynamic variables and it becomes a nightmare.

I'm not saying it won't ever happen, but it will be way down the road if it does...and for those sitting there thinking...no, you will never be able to create armor that takes your hinderance lower than it is with existing armor..those are minimums built into the combat system itself.

All this is not to say there won't be special armors built into the tanning system itself that cannot be accquired elsewhere in the game. That is very much is intended and planned. It is also planned that it is only through the tanning system that one must obtain armor that can be charged with magical properties.
