Dumpshock Forums _ Shadowrun _ Stupid Mystic Armor question

Does Mysitc Armor count towards armor encumbrance?

The book doesn't say that it doesn't and I know the general rule of thumb is "it stacks unless it says otherwise".

However the book basically says your limit for armor is Body x 2 for either rating which seems like Mystic Armor would count towards that.

And yet the concept of Mystic Armor seems like it wouldn't have any real weight.

So...wtf?

No, it does not.
Neither do Armor-Spells, Cyber-Limb-Armor, Dermal-Tech or Orthoskin or natural Armor.
And it all stacks too.
Only WORN ITEMS count towards the encumberance . .
