Using Solaire is a big plus from me because I absolutely adore him and the Dark Souls franchise (except DS2. We do not speak about DS2.)

The idea itself, seems legit enough. But in Minecraft model and graphic terms, hard te execute. Because it would basically be a skin texture on the armour itself, because if you made it a legit cloth, you'd look extremely thick when you wear plate. How this would work efficiently I don't know. Maybe if someone could draft a quick example we can dive into that a bit deeper to see what is possible and also good looking.

But one thing I don't like or see happening is the movement slow of a shield. Because that will be a segway into 'Why do shields have weight, but armour doesn't?!' and that would break the balance and game aspect. Yea sure I know a lot will argue against me on this, but it's simply the truth that if armour had carrying weight (also arguably everything else in an inventory, or you could switch armours really quick to gain speed or defense) mithril would become way too OP. Also, if you are a knight who has proficiency with a shield, you probably have the phsyique to carry around your shield without penalty.

Altogether a nice idea, odds of it happening aren't great in my vision, but I wouldn't say it can't happen. But definitely not this update. (As I am sure you are well aware of)

Kudos.
