DM doesn't have extremely differentiated wear positions like you're talking about, but it does have a bit of complexity of its own.

- Wear positions are just simple head/body/left-right arm/left-right leg, however some races have tails or trunks, or different amounts of arms to equip stuff on.
- Some items can't be worn over other items, you hafta put them on first.
- Some items (such as underwear) can't be seen through items worn outside them. (The goal is to have all logical worn items work this way, I believe.)
- Special items exist to wear on tails or trunks, and you have to have the respective body part in order to wear them.
- Some items cover multiple body parts, i.e. certain types of armor.
- And of course size issues. A gnome can't wear armor designed for an ogre. In fact a gnome probably couldn't LIFT armor, even if it was gnome-sized.
- Some hand equipment (cestus for instance) conflicts with using a sword in that hand, making the sword less effective.
