Add body armor equipment as a slot (don't replace anything), like:
 * Heavy = high damage resistance, low mobility
 * Medium = medium damage resistance, moderate mobility
 * Light = low damage resistance, good mobility
 * No Armor = minimal damage resistance, high mobility


 * 'Heavy' armor would basically give you 115 health
 * 'Medium' would give you 100 health
 * 'Light' would give you 90 health
 * 'None' would make you 75 health

Those numbers might not seem like much, but every little bit matters. And knife monkeys would die very fast.
