Scum and Villainy: Heavy Armor

Heavy armor exists on the character sheet and is briefly mentioned on page 57 (PDF version) but otherwise I can’t seem to find it explained anywhere else.

At a guess it seems like the game is expecting me and mine to fictionally decide if one of the PCs has heavy armor or not.I am totally cool with that but just want to make sure that I’m not missing something.

So, my actual question is: How does heavy armor work and, if it’s mostly a fictional idea, how do you apply it at your table?

Scum & Villainy: Attribute action dots

Pg. 10 says “Each attribute has a rating (from zero to 3) that tells you how many dice to roll when using that attribute,” however, the character sheet shows four dots, one for each action and pg.11 says “The rating for each attribute is equal to the number of dots in the first column under that attribute (see the examples below).”

Do I just ignore ignore it if/when the attribute gets a fourth dot or did I miss something on another page?
