I'm all for this approach.  One thing to note though - if you are

I'm thinking that since this is magic, the magic armor would "magically"
replace your existing armor, so that it takes at the end of the movement
phase.  Your old armor would just be left on the ground.

but that means that you'll be able to switch back and fourth...  now, if
the old armor magically disappears, that's a different story.  Do you
dare try on the new armor?  It might be better than your "thong +3", but
it might not!


You forget, you can't get rid of the magic item unless you die (well, that's
what I'm proposing).  Think "face-hugger" like in the movie Aliens...once
it's their, you're bound to it.  Only death will set you free.  Only in this
case, it might be a good thing.

Also, this leads to (amusing) self-mutilating figs, that chop off their
hand to get rid of that annoying magic ring... :)

*Love* this!

does that mean other figs could try chopping off your hand, for that
*good* ring you have on?

Sure!  You'll have to make the appropriate skill role, of course.  I think
this is fair.  I suspect in most cases it'll be easier to just kill him and
take the item.
