here's the situation in list form:

Full leathers: heavy damage padding + fire resistance
Arm Greaves: heavy crit padding + impact resistance
Leg Greaves: Heavy crit padding

Can someone give me the levels of padding and resistance listed out by body area?

Torso -
Arms -
Legs - heavy crit padding only?
Head - nothing I think I am safe to say

Asked a GH who asked the GMs that were around and they didn't have enough familiarity with the systems to give me a good answer. Main issue is the damage type resistances and how they complicate the issue.

Would also appreciate any recommendations....eg should I get rid of the fire resistance or something?

Thanks for your help!

wow, if you're right, that's much better than I expected. but I thought "resistances to a certain damage type" also cut padding in half also though?

and does the head really have damage padding or is that a typo?

lastly, I'm assuming Sunfist sigils will stack directly?

thanks again for the answers.

>I thought "resistances to a certain damage type" also cut padding in half also though?

Layered, yes. On the same armor piece, no.

>does the head really have damage padding or is that a typo?

Nope, damage padding cover the whole body.. and actually..

Your legs are only getting SWCP. My bad.

>I'm assuming Sunfist sigils will stack directly?

Yes

Are you doing Bandits? I've found damage protection was great at weathering the storm as they pecked you to death once you've been knocked and CMANed into offensive. If you're rarely getting hit, I would go with whatever would blunt the primary form of damage you take, which would likely be from spells or critter maneuvers.

Armor has an effect on damage over the entire body, regardless of what is covered by the armor's primary Armor Group.

For example, if you are wearing a leather breastplate you will have "rigid leather" on the torso area. However, leather breastplate also provides "soft leather" damage factor coverage on all other body locations. Therefore, if you have any padding on a set of armor, all the body areas are affected by it.

>dont leather breastplate wearers also get the crit divisor coverage of double leathers on legs, arms, and head?

Yes

>yet breastplate with crit padding doesn't extend that additional padding elsewhere?

Padding on the main torso armor (regardless of the actual ASG) extends that padding to all body parts.
