when you save an appearance of clothing to the database using the rest menu and try to load the appearance on a different type of clothing, the new clothing loses it's AC bonus.
Eris had standard starter clothes changed to work with her look.
She put on a suit of padded, and tried to copy the look to the padded.
The padded lost its AC bonus, but retained it's damage immunity.

This may have been due to nwn principles recognizing armor class - as design schemes - as soon as the design scheme is changed to something it is not - poof.
The negative outlook If this is an accurate assumption. Is that a person could change clothing into an armor class - thats unbreakable - going to test it now

That is exactly what is - this is not only a bug but now considered an exploit - I trust all you current players :-p but I'm putting this up as a warning until we manage to fix it. I will take -all- of your armor if i catch people making clothing into armor through this method
Basically, Reyna - NWN identifies armor not only through the literal means (light, medium, heavy.) but also through their key designs.
So currently - until someone fixes it - if possible, I know some of this stuff is brutal
It will be impossible to make clothing/armor look like anything that you cannot already craft it to look like. If that makes sense

More specifically, NWN identifies the AC and type (clothing, light, medium, heavy) of "armor" by the torso appearance, since they are all the same item class/type: Armor.
So there probably needs to be a check between the AC of the stored item and the AC of the item being modified. If they don't match, then the torso should remain unchanged while all the other armor pieces are updated. If they do match, then the appearance can be changed in full.
