Players or DM choose between damaging themselves or the armor, or the armor always go first (and maybe every chunk of hp taken from the equipment diminushes its AC bonus). Once the Armor's HP are depleted, the item is ruined and you must get another or at every trip to town you go to a blacksmith to repair your stuff. Healing only recovers your own HP, but skill checks and/or specific magic repairs armor HP... only problem is armor will go down easy... unless every time you reach armor HP zero the armor permanently loses +1, even after repaired.Now, if we rename 'armor hp' to Durability...
