I'm posting this to see if it's an issue with just me, or if anyone else noticed this.
Basically, I am thinking that enhance buffs no longer allow you to wear armor you couldn't normally wear. Here is my reasoning why (the days may be wrong, I have no sense of time).

I bought a suit of reinforced armor (sliced for resistance) last Tuesday (the 30th). When I buffed myself, I could wear all the pieces, and even wear a padded armor belt (not sure why a belt has encumberance, but that's a different issue).
So, I'm thrilled...I got a great deal, and now I can even protect my head from getting hit, since, when buffed, mind is my lowest stat, and every creature out there seems to hit mind more than anything else.

Anyway, Thursday I login, take off my armor to buff (otherwise my mind never recharges), buff all my stats up, then try to put on my armor.
Well, it won't go on! I can get everything on but one piece. I choose to leave off the gloves since they are the smallest thing and less likely to be hit (I hope).
Well, I thought it must be some order of me taking off the armor, or putting it on. So, over the next few dies I try different buff/armor combinations, to no avail. I just love it when my stats are all >1000 but it says I'm not healthy enough to wear the armor. Of course, my mind stats aren't >1000, but they are >200 with all my armor but the one piece on (the gloves have like 15 encumberance on mind).

Now, my questions are these:
1. Did they make it so that your base stats effect your armor wearing, and buffing is no longer any help?
2. Or, was it always this way, and I just missed something (perhaps I wasn't wearing one piece of armor before).
3. Or, am I bugged, because everyone else can do it?

The encumberance values hit are on your secondary stats. I'm guessing if your HAM (main) bars are 1000+, you probably don't have a whole lot in the secondaries.

But if you were able to do it before, you may have a stuck stat bug. Try eating food to clear it up. Works for me every time. (and has since beta... )

I know they're secondary stats. And yes, all my secondaries when buffed are usually close to 1000.

When not buffed I can wear all but one piece of the armor. I have 1 con and 1 str at that point. I buff up and have 1000+ str and con usually. But, it still won't let me wear that last piece.

I have 0 wounds and 0 battle fatigue.

Hmm, I'll have to find some food and try that.
