So while facing a rust monster, my Life Oracle, in order to protect her armor (her weapons were silversheen), used her energy body revelation to turn into full energy mode so she didn't lose the armor but became somewhat immune. This was fully DM's call, since none of us knew if this was doable.
Thoughts on how accurate that was? Should her energy body have protected her armor and metal items against rust in that mode? She could still be attacked, just no rust effects happened. The whole group is interested to know what the right answer is here, if there is one. Thanks!

That's a good question. We have a life oracle with this revelation in our group and we honestly hadn't thought about what happens to gear. Reading the revelation it says "transform your body" and says nothing about gear. My guess is the rust monster could still attack your gear since presumably your gear is still there to be attacked.
That changes my visual image of how this ability actually works. Interesting.
Energy Body isn't a spell, it's (Su).
It doesn't even specify that it is a Polymorph effect, so applying Polymorph rules to it isn't supported.
(and you should be able to use it simultaneously with a Polymorph spell, stacking as it were)
So nothing happens to your armor or gear, it's fully vulnerable just as normal.
not the worst one time call i have seen made. i probably would have made the same call as your dm for flavor sake but it may have been a one time thing i would talk to the player after doing some research.
