Per Krakiipedia:
" * Padding + Padding (Similar) : Armor accessories with padding types similar to the armor they cover result in the area having padding equal to the highest rank between the two. e.g. Masterfully critical padded leg greaves worn with heavily critical padded hauberk results in masterful critical padding of the legs.
* Padding + Padding (Disimilar) : Armor accessories with padding types different from the armor they cover causes both types of padding to be halved in effectiveness. e.g. Heavily critical padded leg greaves combined with heavily damage padded hauberk results in somewhat critical and somewhat damage padding of the legs.
* Padding + Spikes/Flares : Armor accessories with flares combines with critical or damage padded armor results in the padding being halved in that coverage area. e.g. Fire flaring leg greaves combined with heavily damage padded hauberk results in somewhat damage padding of the legs with the appropriate flaring effects.
* Padding + Enhancement : For these purposes, enhancement refers to RESISTANCE TO SPECIFIC DAMAGE TYPES, an active bless, or TD enhancement. ARMOR ACCESSORIES with such enhancements cause padding of the base armor to be halved in effectiveness. e.g. Heavily critical padded hauberk worn with blessed leg greaves results in somewhat damage padding of the legs."
Ok...with this in mind....my question is this. It says if you have enhanced armor accessories and padded armor then the padding is halved in effectiveness. However, what is the case with the opposite? Padded armor accessories and enhanced armor? I have HCP leg/arm greaves and helmet (covers neck) and I use the warriors armor adjust slash resistance on my armor. I would assume the same rule applies....however it doesn't list anything regarding this scenario, at least that I could find, anywhere on the site. I would assume the armor adjust slash protection applies as "enhanced armor" since it specifically states "resistance to specific damage types" above. Then again I'm not entirely sure that it would, because there were other ways of having damage type padding before the new armor adjust verb came out. Maybe just wishfull thinking though. Anyways....any help?
Edit: According to a GM, the armor adjust verb does NOT apply to this. So it won't halve your padding using it.
