IoP brainstorming

[UmbraLux]

A thought I had, since IoPs are unbreakable, and these are wearable, wouldn't they have a really high armor stat?

"Indestructible" can mean many things.  It could mean it deforms (bends or stretches) instead of breaking.  Or it could transform (turn to smoke or liquid temporarily, form a temporary hole, etc) to avoid damage.  It might even simply 'regenerate' - reform at impossible speeds after being penetrated.  Perhaps it even ends up with a hole in it - but the power is still indestructibly tied to the 'rag'.  It might even get 'destroyed' temporarily - and reform or be repaired as appropriate.  The books allude to the Swords of the Cross having manifested in more than one form...who knows why or how that occurred?

In short, you'd need to pay for armor if that's what you want.

"Unbreakable" in this context only means you won't lose it permanently. The one WCV's anti-magic cloth things that Ramirez chopped up are mentioned in the rulebook as being a case where Ramirez "breaking" them would likely be treated as a compel/maneuver, and (had he not been killed in the fight) he'd have gotten them back later, barring the whole 'determined ritual' thing.
