Armor System Rework (DE)

Description An overhaul to the armor system that increases the maximum health based on total armor amount, while making damage apply to the corresponding armor and directly to health. If you actually hate the armor concept as a whole (I agree with you on that one), make sure to check Kalavinka's Divine War mod. It's amazing and I can't recommend it enough.
