Newbie with armor question, what stacks vs what doesn't Options

[Falconer]

Also, Drakes:

They come equipped with mystic armor 4 and Itnw 4. What would be the point of that if they did not stack?

1. They come w/ hardened armor, and CRITTER POWER Mystic armor.

Hardened armor is exactly that hardened armor protection which doesn't stack w/ worn armor.

MYSTIC ARMOR (critter) IS NOT mystic armor (adept)!!!!! The critter power only gives the drake 4 more points of ASTRAL armor. (which is treated as hardened since it has the hardened armor property).

They DO NOT STACK, they reflect two entirely different armor totals.
