Rule Clarification: Layered LT Armor
My question is with regards to the rule from Low-Tech, page 103, on layering armor:

My assumption is the former, but I do wonder if I'm being too lenient. |

Re: Rule Clarification: Layered LT Armor
It's spelled out in the table that is referenced in the notes below.
Armor pieces with the notes [6], [7], [8], [9], and [11] are the ones that apply. The partial pieces don't count toward layering, so if you have on full arm, and an forearm, only the full arm piece is relevant for layering rules. You're doing it right. |

I'm seeing elaborate chest pieces placed over the vitals, quite personally.

Re: Rule Clarification: Layered LT Armor
I like the chest/abdomen split. Not being able to use rigid armor on the abdomen still allows double chain to up the protection to the plate levels of the rest of the body.
