Of course, at base consideration weapons get a proficiency bonus which helps overcome the AC bonus while casters do not get this bonus.It seems exceedingly unlikely that you get enhancement bonus to AC via both armor and shields in terms of the basic math of the system, especially since they said otherwise.So all defenses and AC scale at the same rate, AC just gets a leg up for many creatures (though not cloth casters) and in some cases the proficiency bonuses for weapons equal or exceed this leg up (leather and/or hide, depending on the weapon).Shields are a pretty major bonus to both AC and Reflex, all told.</blockquote>
