Bypass armour manoeuvre

[gran_orco]

If a character is wearing 2 armours, only the highest AP score is used. Is this rule applied to natural armour, too, or should we add both scores?
Some creatures add the armour AP to his hide (like giants). But Iron dwarfs PC have 2 natural AP, so knowing it may be useful.
If bypass armour maoeuvre is selected against a foe using a natural armour and worn armour the attacker must select which one is bypassed . Should we apply this if anyone is wearing hard leather and chainmail, for exemple, or are both armours bypassed?

For creatures with natural armour the values stack.

Worn armour in general, tends to have the same weak spots. So the back of the knees for example are exposed even if you have both a chainmail hauberk on and boiled leather greaves.(*)

Thus if you are wearing two sets of armour and receive a Bypass Armour CM, it goes through both.

(*) Its not true for every specific case or location, but this is a model which tries to keep things simple and preserve game balance. :wink:
