As I understand it, the BRP combat rules use armour as damage resistance, as does Stormbringer (which runs on the BRP engine), but Stormbringer involves more heroic levels of play and armour which would merely be top end in those circumstances becomes game-breakingly immune in the default game.
There's quite a lot I like about the BRP magic system - POW is a very interesting stat and the idea of tying up your overall casting capacity by maintaining enchantments interest me, likewise actually permanently burning POW for various things. Also the idea of a piece of armour that is actually a bound demon is cool lore wise - especially in a modern setting where that piece of armour might look like a duster but be capable of shedding 7.62NATO ball... and biting people who pick your pocket. And attacking you if it you don't keep an eye on it.
