The example for in the description of Wear Extra Armor reads as follows:
For example: Darlissa is a scholar. Her maximum Armor Points are just 15. She has a wonderful suit of armor she wants to wear that is worth 16 Armor Points. She purchases Wear Extra Armor and now can get the full amount.
It seems to suggest that absent the Wear Extra Armor skill, Darlissa may still use the 16pt suit, but it only counts as a 15pt suit. Is that accurate? i.e. even if you have a limit of 15 points, you could use a 30pt suit, but only get to use 15pts of it? Or should she never even put it on?
While under an effect which removes Game Abilities, is the intent that the player treat their armor (whether actual or Arcane) as a lesser suit, that the suit become suddenly damaged. or that the first blow removes all of the excess points? If so, what is the intent of how to handle it when the "no game abilities" effect is removed?
i.e. Let's say Darlissa has multiple levels of WEA. She is wearing a 20pt suit, then gets hit with a Drain spell.
"treated as 15pts" - Darlissa then takes 20 points of damage from a Flame Bolt. 15 is removed from her armor, and 5 from body. She then receives a Purify. Is her suit suddenly usable as a 1pt suit (since she could now utilize all 16 points of it)?
"magically damaged" - Darlissa does not take any damage, but receives a Purify so her armor now a 16pt suit damaged down to 15?
"first blow ablation" - Darlissa is hit with 2 points of of damage. Because she is taking damage at all, the excess 5 points are lost without benefit, and now she deducts 2 points from her armor, setting it at 13. She receives a Purify, but the armor is still at 13.
