BW mentioned in a few articles they were introducing a technolodgy that would allow armor class (light,medium, heavy) to scale with the user. SO that a jedi guardian could for instance take the sand people gear and when he/she equipped it it would become heavy armor. One thing I'd like to see the implement are weapons to match this like the gaffi stick! How can you tank as a sand people guardian without a proper gaffi stick?
