All temperature-changing attacks would have bad effects on the temper of armor, I suspect, but that's beneath the resolution of the game and this example wouldn't be any different. That said, feel free to invoke the Rule of Cool (heh) and say something like this:
Anyone hit by cold breath and fire breath in the same turn experiences harmful thermal effects: +1 damage per die to whatever breath attack comes second, and metal armor has an 8 or less chance of permanently losing a point of DR due to popping links and rivets.
That's total fantasy . . . but then what's the title of the game?
