The order in which armor is worn is of great importance. The higher the armor is listed on the table, the closer to the skin it must be worn. Thus full plate is worn over everything, and padded armor is worn under everything. The one exception to this is Jack of Plate, which when worn with another heavy armor (see above) may be worn either over or under the other armor.
