[Runequest] Flexible and hard armor together.

[Steve Perrin]

You keep layering armor and you are going to look like the Michelin Man. 
I don't think I would give a plate and chain combination more than 1 
extra point of armor. I would also be watching fatigue penalties very 
closely.

Actually, since I hate keeping track of that kind of stuff, I just would 
not allow it.
