The book indicates that armour which protects the 'back of the neck' protects against waylay. Many people in our chapter have helmets that cover their entire head EXCEPT the back of the neck. This is the same 'armour slot', but doesn't specifically protect this area, but the general consensus up here is that it does work against waylay.
The forearm slot covers the elbow to tip of fingers as one 'slot'. If someone were to have sleeves or bracers without gloves, they would still get full armour points for it (more than 50% coverage). The general consensus here seems to be that they would not be protected from a contact poison.
(By 'general consensus' I mean other players, I did not specifically ask our local marshals, as I'm sure they are 'winding down' from last weekend's event and don't want them to feel like I'm pestering them with minutae.)
Since our chapter is somewhat removed from everywhere else, I'm curious to know how other chapters rule this, and/or why there seems to be a difference between these two situations, as clarity would really help the information 'sink in' on the matter.
Thank you
