Post-Apocalyptic Armor 2: The Road Warrior

Played a session with the new armor rules. I went in with each piece having weapon die modifiers, fumble modifiers, armor check penalty modifiers, fractional modifiers. It was overkill and stupid. Here are the streamlined Wasteland Armor rules, and a list of wasteland armor.

1. Armor does not (generally) modify Armor Class. Instead it soaks damage.
2. Armor Class is modified by Reflex Saving Throw Modifier.
3. Armor die is determined by moving up the Die Chain for each Armor Die Step.
4. After a hit, the defender rolls its Armor Die. The result reduces the attack's damage by the number rolled. 
5. On a roll of 1 on the armor die, one piece of armor of the defender's choice is damaged, reducing it's effectiveness by one step. If reduced to zero, it is destroyed.
6. Some pieces of armor do not provide armor die steps, they are there for when ones are rolled to keep the good stuff from breaking.
7. Fumble Die is equal to the total armor die, unless additionally modified by an armor piece's SPECIAL NOTES.
8. These rules only apply to player characters of at least first level and special bad guys. Otherwise shit would slow down too much.
9. Shields work normally, granting a bonus to AC.

I made this equipment character sheet to simplify tracking the armor. Each piec will go on a little post it that is stuck in the roughly corresponding position. I also made a spot for usage dice (Stolen from +David Black's Black Hack), and the items thing is for a LotFP meets Black Hack, style encumbrance rule set. I also got some ideas for this from Last Gasp, namely having "Ready Items."
