[QUOTE="Archer, post: 97236, member: 2950"] For most terms there are standard language meaning and there are defined game term meanings. In defined game terms, armor has 4 characteristics, armor bonus, max dex, check penalty and arcane spell failure chance. "-" is a suffient response for some of those categories. In general language, anything providing protection could be considered armor. If someone asked me on the street if gauntlets or helmets are armor, I'd say yes, but in a D&D Rules forum the answer is no. Some people want to house rule that temporary isn't a named bonus type but that's a house rule. Officially, temporary is a non-stackable bonus type. I like to house rule that Combat Reflexes is per opportunity, so does Monte Cook but in the 2nd printing of the PHB it deletes the word "opportunity" and replaces it with "round." That's about as official as something can be. [/QUOTE]
