In a discussion about TheCatman999's idea (to add new armor slots for a rinmail and other under armor), JimMoriartyX and I worked on an other, impoved version. This is the idea: Now you have the option to combine the normal armor (iron, leather, rohirric, morgul) with special Upgrades especially "Under armor" in a simple crafting table (mabey an anvil...?)

On Ringmail and other Under Armor

Under Armor and Upgrades:
The crafting recipe could mabey look like this: Every under armor has some effects like resistance, speed, thorns or it only increases the armor points. We had some ideas for under armor (recpies later):

1. mithril ringmal (like frodo has): you get only 50% of the damage (it might be OP...)

2. other ringmails (e.g. iron, gold or ork steel): ?% chance to half damage

3. under leather armor: ?% chance to half damage

4. under armor with boiled leather (put leather in the furnace):  ? chance to half damage

5. armor intensification (made by e.g. iron, bronze, ork steel): -?% damage

6. under wag fur armor (inspiried by http://lotrminecraftmod.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:320799): obvious

7. spikes: for walking on ice and thorns

8. do you have any suggestions? I'll edit this post later

(all these Upgrades can only be worn with an other armor part)

Crafting:
To craft a ringmail, you first have to craft rings (not Siver rings. I only used the texture) With the rings you're now abled to craft the ringmail

To wear armor intensifications you only have to craft them and then building armor with it (like ringmail).Of course plates can be crafted with other materials (bronze, elven steel)

Crushing weapons
With this new armor, we need new weapon effects. The Catman had an idea: "Crushing weapons".

Crushing weapons are Hammers, Maces, Balrog whips and
