Is this correct?

Is that answer correct? Because I'm sure the rules state that target areas are either covered or not by armor, not surface areas.

[Okay, the kinda strange on that part of the section. It should be made a little more clear, so I'll come up with a better wording that using target area covered to designate an armor's protection]

Yes, Raccoon's explaination is correct.

This is the rule that you're skipping when you're reading about armour. I've bolded the portion that pertains to this.

I agree with Winfang. I'd also point you back to one of the rules quoted by Aerhok in that other thread (though he misread its intent):

3.3.2. Armor only protects areas covered.


Armor literally protects what it covers, nothing more and nothing less. If armored and unarmored areas are struck, then it counts on the unarmored area.
