Let's see. As I remember, Tom had it right. When layering two pieces
of armor, you halve the values of the lesser armor (rounding down) and
add that to the greater armor. So, if you wore a long coat (4/2) over
an armored jacket (5/3) you would end up with an armor rating of
(5/3) + (2/1) = (7/4). The limitations on this are:
You can only layer things that make sense.
Armored jacket with a long coat over it, yes.
Full heavy armor with a long coat over it, (or, heaven forbid,
another est of full heavy,) no.
You can only get the added protection from two pieces of armor. More
layers don't help you. (Although they may slow you down, at the GM's
discretion... ;) )
Yep, looking over that, it seems correct. Any one else got a comment?
Or maybe some cool house rule they use? Always love to hear them, in
case they're good enough for me to use. (Rubbing hands together...)
