Applying a x2 multiplier to the Armour *die type* is equivalent to
applying 
the same x2 multiplier to the Armour *rating* - so what you're really
doing 
with this x2 multiplier is to allow armour ratings higher than 5 :-)
(Which 
is of course a Good Thing, and something I've argued for for years.)
