I think the best solution would be 1,2,3,4 damage reduction, respectively. quick, easy, and fun.I assumed you still took the dex negative even in heavy armor. I mean, moving around in heavy armor doesn't offset the fact that you're clumsy and slow?

Armor kits. You can upgrade your armor with them, and they are non-magical. Maybe one gives you more ac, or one gives you DR, or one makes the armor lighter.
