Layering armor?

But you can do cloak over armor right? Just not 2 cloaks. Also, do cloaks and armor help against extreme cold?

 in 5e nor 5.5 there is nothing stopping you from putting on multiple armor sets excepts maybe the formula

There is, though. The 5.5e Player's Handbook section on Armor in chapter 5 explicitly says you can only wear one set of armor at a time and wield only one shield at a time.

The 5e Player's Handbook, which is obviously what this thread was originally about, does not have this restriction.

So how about the Tattoos from Tasha's Couldron? As long as you don't stack the AC-bonus, you could have both a tatto and some other armour. Just not active at the same time.

 This thread came out before 5.5e, so it makes sense.
