If lasers won't be overly powerful, then i think that it's okay to accept characeters with 'em, as in that case, it would be possible for armor to increase the actual time between the shot and the body damage, making dodging somewhat possible, albeit requiring to sacrifice the integrity one's armor each time.

That won't help characters like Evvie, but it still seems fair and is her fault for not wearing much right now.

Soldier #1: "Fire the laser!"
*Soldier number two hits the breastplate
Soldier #1: "Wha? She's literally only like, 10% covered right now. Fire again!"
*Soldier number two hits the bottom armor piece
Soldier #1: "Are you serious?!"
*Sees the armor burning away
Soldier #1: "Ah...carry on then."
