Ok, I'm asking how this is supposed to be ruled...
The Silken Ceremonial from the Ultimate Equipment Guide says this...
Silken Ceremonial = Armor Bonus +1, Max Dex Bonus -, Armor check penalty 0, Arcane spell failure 0%, WT 4lb; Spd 30'ft [30gp]
"Used for ceremonial displays or occasionally worn (albeit with no additional benefit) over heavier armor, these robes consist of several layers of cloth and an outer layer of silk intricately woven with gold brocade designs and covered with metal studs."
The Haramaki from Ultimate Equipment Guide says this...
Haramaki = Armor Bonus +1, Max Dex Bonus -, Armor check penalty 0, Arcane spell failure 0%, WT 1lb; Spd 30'ft [3gp]
"Also called a belly-warmer, a haramaki is a simple silken sash lined with chainmail or articulated metal plates and tied about the stomach to protect it."
Can these two armors be worn together and stack their effects? It seems the Haramaki is "meant" to be worn in combination with other armors as it makes no restriction in its description that says it can't be worn with other armor.. otherwise it is kinda pointless... or at least seems so.
The Silken ceremonial says it does not stack with heavier armor it is worn over.. but wearing it with a Haramaki..which seems by its description to be able to be worn with other armors would seem to be viable.. at least on the surface.
Thematically, ALL the picture depictions of everyone's favorite hottie sorceress the Iconic Seoni is wearing this same combination of adventuring gear.
What's the 'official' position of the game designers on this?
