3. A critical is achieved which results in something like No 2 (offering less protection).
Who really knows. I've never seen a decent explanation for it. No matter how well covered your character may be.

I've wondered about this, too. However, I have found that if I've been wandering around for a time in combat situations that I find that some of my armor has broken and isn't equipped after all.
Or I think I have all the bits and don't. I'm also wondering if bracers really have the same value as gauntlets (one leaves your hands exposed and one doesn't, after all).
The only time I've ever seen my unarmored skills increase is when I was either playing a beast race who couldn't wear books or when I had broken armor.
