Using the nightshroud on top of normal armour?

[Fallen Angel]

Well can you? The item description doesn't specify it as a suit of armour, it only says "The nightshroud adds +1 to the bearer's armour save." Just like the dragonhelm for example. So can you use the nightshroud on top of a suit of heavy armour and a shield for a 3+ Sv?

Indeed you can - Just consider the Nighshroud to have something to the effect of 'Cape' where you'd normally find the light/heavy armour/shield classification would be.

Awesome! Thanks!

Is it legal to use both Nightshroud and the Dragonhelm?

No, that is two sets of magic armor, you can only ever have one set and one magic shield.

It is illegal, as you can't take more than a single item from the same category, Magic Armor in this case. Just the same as you can't take two Magic Weapons, Talismans etc.

True, not two sets of magical armor, but also you can't take more than one selection of any item from a single category on a character. Therefore you couldn't have a Magical suit of armor (say, Armor of Destiny) and shield (Enchanted Shield). You can only take one or the other in that example. You can add any mundane armor of course.
