Armor-

Someone asked me what the Max Armor you could have on someone was.
My group paused briefly then began to chatter. It got louder and louder
until, eventually, somebody spilled a drink and I think I saw a bag of
peanuts fly through the air and now the ferret's injured.

So here's what we can document-

The rulebook says that you can have multiple types of Armor, however the
highest one counts <I don't think anyone will argue that you can take the
lower value by choice, but if you want to, make another thread>.

So I have an untapped Stomper 6/7(A1) with a Hog (+1/+0 A+1) and dermal
armor (+0/+2 A+1) and 2 fullbody armors (A+2 each) and an Armor Jacket(A+1)
and with a Bulldog Van on a Thrash (A+1)

Now one school of thought is that Stomper is now 6/9(A6)
With these armors working-
Natural (A1)
Dermal (A+1) "Works with other armor"
FullBodyArmor (A+2) Rulebook-"only 1 armor may be worn at a time"
Bulldog Van (A+1)
Hog (A+1)
This is mine. I don't see any other way for it to be.
The Lined Coat works with Armor jacket, but not other armor.
The bulldog van adds armor, but is not Gear (Armor) so it can add it to the
highest armor rating.

What is the highest armor achievable?
I think it's A8 by a natural A2 troll or a burned out mage with Armor (spell).

Let me know what you think!
