"My suggestions for minimum armor: Helm, hardened/steel elbows & knees,
groin, throat, kidneys to floating ribs, hands, and forearms. Everything
else is gravy. But let the fighters determine beyond that."

I agree with Count Gunther's statement, whether there is a shield
present or not. My basis on that thought goes along with Lord Lochlan
Dunn in saying that it generally takes a little while to find the
correct armor when one loses their shield. As it is now, either a
sword or a gauntlet is usually needed. Looking for and equiping an
elbow cop would take even longer. Unless of course the individual
would rather just yield the fight.
