I'm not overly fond of the idea that every character requires armor to be effective. Some, like Shaolin Monks (and whatever their equivalent might be in this setting due to the "Asian" culture/influences), don't need armor to be effective, and others might simply be some giant bar-room brawler that's tough as nails and worthy of visiting the Salty Spitoon.
Ergo, I propose an Unarmored skill tree!
A few ideas I had:
Unarmored (Base Description) - This skill is progressed by managing damage received when unarmored. A high skill level gives you +1 Armor at levels 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90, and +1 Dodge at levels 20, 40, 60, 80, 100.
Unarmored Fighter (0) - You gain +2 Dodge while not wearing armor.
Unarmored Fighter II (20) - You gain +2 Dodge and +2 Armor while not wearing armor.
Thick Skin III (40) - You gain +2 Dodge and +4 Armor while not wearing armor.
Thick Skin IV (60) - You gain +2 Dodge and +6 Armor while not wearing armor.
Thick Skin V (80) - You gain +2 Dodge and +8 Armor while not wearing armor.
Nimble Combatant III (40) - You gain +4 Dodge and +2 Armor while not wearing armor.
Nimble Combatant IV (60) - You gain +6 Dodge and +2 Armor while not wearing armor.
Nimble Combatant V (80) - You gain +8 Dodge and +2 Armor while not wearing armor.
[Via the above, maximum possible Dodge is 23, maximum possible Armor is 13. I haven't seen the high-end light armors yet, but I feel like this would be roughly equivalent in statistics.]

And I could probably keep coming up with things like this, or this was all moot. I don't know how the staff feels about unarmored combatants on the server.
