For a melee SC, I suppose it's somewhat debatable. If you expect him to be swarmed, the reduction in BAP won't matter, he should still get 2 attacks every round if he can make them without any movement. If they have to move at all, Jade Armor is just a bad joke. Remember for a non-mounted commander, he's going to suck up a LOT of fatigue from that as well. Suggest Soul Vortex or Relief in conjunction with that terribly heavy armor.

Jade Armor is fine for zero-encumbrance thugs that won't be doing tons of self-buffing, like Bane Lords or Poison Golems or GORed Gargoyles. A Black Servant could be good too if you pumped his MR to avoid banishment.
I don't like to give Jade Armor to mounted commanders because their HP is so low ... it doesn't take much to get whacked, and then you've got a good chance of those gems just falling down the drain.
Has anyone ever tried GORing a Troll Moose Knight?
