Wargame AC
Armour in most fantasy RPGs isn't very similar to how real life armour behaves. Verisimilitude isn't necessary but searching for it is fun.
Accepting that AC is a bit off, we go to a hobby that has way more investment in reality: the wargame. A very common thing done in them is to have "soft" and "hard" targets, squishy men and hard tanks.
Steal this idea. Now there is hard armour and soft armour and being effectively naked.

Crypts of Indormancy - Kickstarter
Oh my, what's this? Why it's an adventure by the inimitable Ezra Claverie, Undercroft regular and bottomless font of curious concepts, illustrated by one Andrew Walter, whose art speaks for itself.
“Crypts of Indormancy” is a an evocative location-based adventure compatible with Lamentations of the Flame Princess and most other Dungeons & Dragons clones. Set in a quasi-Polynesian island chain with a backdrop of postcolonial elves digging through their imperial past
This scenario is informed as much by sword-and-sorcery as by anticolonial politics, so you might say that it draws on a non-traditional "Appendix N," one that includes Aimé Césaire, Chinua Achebe, Frantz Fanon, Gyatri Spivak, and Edward Said.
This is the Melsonian Arts Council's first* stand alone, big-boy book and is being funded with big-boy money. How exciting! Let's hope it all goes well and gets funded so we can pay everyone and not end up living in the cardboard box the books get delivered in.
(*Oli Palmer's Something Stinks in Stilton counts sometimes, and will count even more if we hit the funding goal to have it reprinted all nice a pretty-like)
