A simplification to HP on fodder monsters and "quick to be killed"
critters. Rather than roll an armor die versus every hit for these
types, just convert armor type to extra hitpoints and be
done with it?

Hide x 1.1 to hp

Leather x 1.2

Chain x 1.3 (mithral 1.4)

Plate x 1.4 (mithral 1.5)

So this guy, if wearing chain armor would have 49 hitpoints rather
than 38 if wearing chain.

TRs
Melee D10 > D8 > D0 ( 2 to 18 )
Unarmed D6 ( 1 to 6 )
Ranged D8 > ( 1 to 8 )
Arcane D6 > D4 ( 2 to 10 )
HP 38 ( Mod to HP x1 )
RS 9 ( Mod to RS x1 )
BP D6
Notes
Chain Armor HP Mod = 49

Nice. I like it. Takes the concept to the extreme and simplifies things even more which is almost always a good thing.

Yes, as long as the GM remembers to "simulate" the effects of armor (and active defense pools, for that matter), it should be good.
