Well, in real life, plate armor essentially makes you immune to swords, except for stabbing attacks behind the elbows and knees. Folks at renaissance fairs and the like can do actual combat with actual razor-sharp swords in COMPLETE SAFETY because of this. Also, you can do cartwheels while wearing it.
In this case, realism is NOT FUN, especially since our leather-wearing hero is on the receiving end.
