Enhancement bonus for Armor and Shield.

[Melkor]

Hi folks,

According to P.275 of the 4E PHB, you "Don't add together bonuses of the same type to the same roll or score. If you have two bonuses of the same type that apply to the same roll or score, use the higher bonus".

Does that mean that if you have an Enhancement bonus to your Armor, and an Enhancement bonus to your shield, you don't get to add both bonuses to your AC total?

Instead, applying the higher of the two to your AC total?

Thanks!

that would be correct...even tho no published shields have an enhancement bonus to AC.

note that feats like Armor Specialization (scale) and Shield specialization both offer a +1 feat bonus to AC, so do not stack either.

Exact, there is no such thing as enhancement bous from a shield for now.
