It does nothing against plate mail that a normal sword wouldn't do. But against chainmail +5... NOW it's better.I'd say that in general natural armor is about making the skin tougher. Alter self gives magical armor through poly morph... an amulet of natural armor I'd say makes the skin tougher, although I suppose that's somewhat up to GM interpretation. But I also think that's a good general rule to further limit the power of this particular sword. I mean, you don't want to cut through everything the mage does... just most everything. And natural armor you can justify it not working against, I think I'd go with that. Plus it makes a nice complimentary statement with weapons "of brilliance", which also don't effect natural armor. Bracers of armor I rule do the same thing that enhancing normal armor does... just without the matrix of the armor. Which is why it would work against both of those, it nullifies the enhancement bonus of the armor. In the bracers case, what's left is air. In the plate mail's place, you've still got a large chunk of metal left.</blockquote>
