"An enhancement bonus to a suit of armor does not improve the spikes’ effectiveness, but the spikes can be made into magic weapons in their own right."
"Defending
A defending weapon allows the wielder to transfer some or all of the sword’s enhancement bonus to his AC as a bonus that stacks with all others. As a free action, the wielder chooses how to allocate the weapon’s enhancement bonus at the start of his turn before using the weapon, and the effect to AC lasts until his next turn. "
does this mean i could make my shield spikes magical and give them the defending properties so as to increase my AC?
I realize that armor is cheaper to increase magically but when your looking at 25k for the next armor upgrade I would just as soon get the +1 enhancement and then defending on the armor spikes to increase my AC that way.
