Correct. PAoC Form does not allow armor, no matter what else you have running. There are three reasons:

1) The ability to use armor with some martial arts is not a power of the styles. It's the absence of a specific limitation built into the Charms.

2) Geoff told me, "The Dragon styles are armored styles. I want that to be something specific and funky they did for the D-Bs; if a Sidereal wants to wear armor, they can learn the D-B styles instead of the Sidereal ones." (I decided to take this and run all the way with it, making entirely armorless styles, rather than undermine it with exceptions.)

3) It'd be a nightmare. "I take off my armor. I invoke PAoC Form. I invoke Earth Dragon. I put my armor back on. Then I invoke something else . . ."

Sidereals don't have a good armor donning Charm anyway, although I'm still sad occasionally that I didn't add a Whirlwind Armor Removing style for Sidereals who switch-hit their combat styles. :) Oh, well. There's probably starmetal armor out there with a special 'fall off when I get serious' button.
