LE New Weapon vs. Armor Mechanic

[ColonelMitche1]

I was watching about medieval combat and the video author brought up the fact that a sword would do virtually no damage to thick steel armor, so soldiers would often have to grab the sword by the blade and bash the heavy armor rather than slicing at it. Which brings me to my idea, what if only certain types of weapons were effective against heavy armor? Such as warhammers/maces, weapons with weight and a blunt striking point.

I like this idea.

on my first play through, I sneak attacked a vampire with a wooden sword because I thought it would be like a wooden steak in the heart. Turns out, that doesn't work that way. ..

but similar to the way silver weapons do more damage against undead.

maybe some types of heavy armor can deflect the weaker bows and arrows.
