Got a question - had some shoulder surgery where they took part of my collar bone. Not the end of the world but I'd like to make sure to protect that area a BUNCH. I know that plastic (not period, etc) doesn't count as armor, but I'm really only interested in the protection it affords. I'm looking at some hockey shoulder pads (they cover all of my bad spots and give a pretty good range of motion, too). If I toss a good garb over it, could I still wear it (and not get the armor bonus)? I do have some leather that's pretty well padded underneath, but still want more than that can give me....what are the thoughts on that? Still want to fight, but need to make sure to keep my shoulders stupidly protected....
Thanks a bunch -----------
