The only real problem with giving an armor as a "bonus" item in an RPG is that it can't really be balanced. Either it's too weak and become quickly obsolete, or too string and breaks the game early on.

The former is more frequent.

However I have to say it would be pretty epic to whip out a Plasma Cutter crossbow and dismember some dragons.
