- Re-adjusted the stats once more to do some fine tuning, and set the prices to be appropriate for the level of protection.

I am quite happy with the stats, and I find them to be well-balanced and fair. These will be the final version of the stats for the foreseeable future, unless there are noteable armor balancing changes in a future update.
- JACKET:
- Increased price by 10%
- Increased blunt resist by 1
- Increased Harpoon resist by 1
- Increased Athletics by 1

PANTS:
- Increased Price by 70%
- Slight buff to blunt rest.
- 5% increase in stun.
- Lowered harproon resist.
- Increased stealth.

BOOTS:
- Increased price by 5%.
- Lowered harpoon resist by 8
- Lowered Stealth by 2
- Added 5% acid protection

- Changed the stun % on both the Jackets and Pants to be more of a middle ground between mercenary leather-type armor. This makes other medium armor types viable as well, instead of making Plate armor the obvious better choice.

- Back-Seat Modding and Back-Seat Gaming Award to @Tarsis for telling me about stun resist and to go read how it works! With 200+ hours in Kenshi, I still never would've geuessed it works in the way it does.


- Also adjusted the Mongrel armor merchant to have a higher than normal chance of having white plate variants. I mean seriously, you made it all the way to Mongrel to buy Specialist White Plate, and it turned out to that White Plate variants had a really low chance of showing up in the armor vendor's inventory?! I literally spent a month there to test this, and not once did I see a Specialist white plate vairent of boots, pants or jacket. So, this is now changed!

- I also adjusted the sneak debuff on the boots to be less bad, and more in line with the rest of the armor. Although, they are boots, and would definatley make more sound than the rest of the armor, especially with all those plates touching, so it's still kinda of a bad debuff, but more fair, I think.

Although I have put a lot of thought into the current stats and balancing with the other armors in the game, I'm open to feedback about the balancing of the armor stats! So, feel free to speak your mind, in a polite manner.

Fixed a missed value in the Plate Jacket... Also updated the cover image to show the correct numbers.
