What does this actually mean?
Obsidian Digizoid Armor: The Digimon’s Armor Rating gains +4, and whenever an Enemy would hit it with a Melee Attack, the enemy takes 4 points of Unalterable Damage.
Does this mean the 4 damage goes through armor? Or would it just do a flat 1 to anything with more than 3 armor. I'm leaning towards the former but would like some clarification, because that could be quite the chunk of damage to some builds.

It means that Armor does not effect the damage, yes. I'd like to keep in mind: Mega Level Digimon (who are the ones who could purchase this Armor anyways and would as such be the approximate stage the party would be using or fighting) have BASE 11 Wound Boxes due to needing to invest 1 point into Health, and unless you're a glass cannon extraordinaire, odds are you have a fair bit more invested into your Health stat, to the point of being at 20 or more in many cases. 1/5 of your Max HP is a bit much on paper, but DDA is generally a speedy combat system in general.

Thanks for the clarification. Just wanted to be sure. And this is really mostly my fault due to my character sheet being buged and my mega having 10 less health than he should have.

And to clarify, in V.11 Gold and Obsidian Armor will both be working off a Derived Stat for the damage given instead of a flat, unchanging rate (flat rates have a problem of being REALLY potent at one point in the game but falling apart in terms of usefulness at another). The Damage will be CPU Value x 2 (essentially 1/10 of Body Stat, then doubled) for both Gold and Obsidian. So at 20 Body you're only dealing 2 Damage, at 40 only 4, etc. It's a technical nerf to the current damage but it rewards investment more.

And so I don't clutter the main forum with my questions this part in Sneak Attack: "This Quality can only be activated if the Digimon was in hiding somehow, whether disguised, invisible, or otherwise hidden behind an obstruction." Does this imply what I think it does about Hide In Plain Sight?

Sneak Attack would indeed activate from the Digimon being hidden with a Hide in Plain Sight bonus. But it does have the obvious limit of only being possible on the first round of combat.

I meant the disguise, invisible thing that this implies that hide in plain sight could allow a digimon to look like a human or turn invisible. Like Archnemon and Mummymon from Adventure02

Yes, that's what it would imply. I'm not 100% sure about the Digimon Emperor's original intent, but that's how I interpreted the Quality later.
