I can't image a layman heal doing the job effectively. Sounds like PoTs need to open up their doors for new alter boys and girls.

Sorry missed this part of your post. Valid point... probably something we'd consider if we did a global review of sneak/hide.

Plenty of other stuff that needs fixing first.
Interesting idea. I'm curious about how it'd apply to every guild, though: would there be an armour penalty only for pure casters such sorcerers, clerics and mages since they're thematically robe wearing spellweavers, or would it also be a topic for non-fighter class guilds such as thieves, rangers, etc? Mechanically monks are fighters, but thematically a fully plate armoured monk wearing two shields and doing karate is funny. Same with fully armoured sneaking thieves and rangers.
All valid points, and if we were to make global changes these things would need to be considered.

On a non-global scale, these considerations can be made in the coding or re-coding of guilds. For the elven archers recode, as a ranger-type they won't be able to wear platemail. Ckrik is considering a range of ways to make the Dragon Order playable while promoting a more traditional lightly armoured fighter.
