no matter how I recode the armor it will not resist more than 127 damage, then it all applies at once, is this an intentional feature?

also, I think it would be neat if you could add thaumcraft support for things like Vis Discounts, or for revealing on helmets

I believe that is a vanilla limitation. I don't impose any limits on the values.

close this, I figured out the problem, I was a derp and didn't sync up the numbers properly
