Who said running the shadows was easy? Dodging bullets, swords, spirits, and spells just to name a few. Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, even the occasional Dragon can make any Shadowrun go bad.

ok here is the question trolls have natural armor 1/1 if you get orthoskin or dermal plating i know you can have both but if you get on dose the trolls natural armor stack with the other or dose the orthoskin/dermal stands by it self.
My guess is that it's possible to do that and that they stack, from a rules point of view. Following the descriptions of Orthoskin (p.339 crb) and the Troll natural armor (p.67 crb) one could argue that orthoskin works the same as the natural dermal bone deposits and therefore you can't have both. But that's my interpretation and not a fixed rule.

Dermal Plating: yes, it can stack, but getting dermal plating is like having an obvious cyberlimb. It is "Clearly Visible" according to it's description.
Orthoskin: yes, it can stack as well, with none of the potential side effects of using Dermal Plating.
However, Orthoskin and Dermal Plating do not stack with each other.
