merge Scale and Chain mails
There is virtually no perceptible difference between 5 and 6 base AC armors, but the difference in encumbrance between Ring and Scale is two-fold, after taking the square, which is strange.
The tiles and names for Scale and Chain mails are similar enough to make me keep forgetting which has better AC.
By definition, mail = armor of chained rings, so it's hard to understand why some mails would be called ring mails and others would be called chain mails.
What we could have instead of current scale and chain mails:
Scale Mail, 7 base AC, -11 encumbrance rating, 31% GDR.
