I noticed when I was wearing range gear I couldn't do damage with a melee weapon as if my Bonuses went negative. The point is your a Multi Adventurer that should be able to do damage when any combat style according to my bonuses because if everyone is wearing one combat style you'd hardly have a combat because your both wearing the same thing and not doing any damage rather than using all 3 combat styles and doing damage for all 3 with skill and combat skills to either fight and combat.
This is why hybrid armor exists. It's weaker than tank armor but doesn't have negative penalties for attacking.
