Yes, the way it works does sometimes lead to you effectively protecting against a damage type the armor and plates don't actually protect against. On the downside, if there is no 'spare' damage leftover from other damage types, then you pay extra decay for nothing (eg. someone gets hit for 12 Impact wearing Rascal+5B. The Rascal protects against all 12 Impact so you have a 1.0 hit. However the 5B also protects against all 12 Impact. Thus your decay is roughly double what would be if you were not wearing the plates, even though the damage taken is the same).

I'm not sure it'll work. If Atrax Young does 10 or more Stab then on a min hit it'll do 5 or more Stab. As Vampire only protects 5 Stab, it doesn't help us if the min stab damage is more than 5.
