[QUOTE="Slaved, post: 4168198, member: 43358"] Mage Armor is a First Level Spell with a 1 Hour Per Caster Level Duration that gives a +4 Force Armor Bonus while the only easily applicable Spell for a Natural Armor Enhancement is a Second Level Spell with a 10 Minutes Per Caster Level Duration. There are also many cheap ways to gain an Armor Bonus while there are only a handful of ways to gain a Natural Armor Enhancement and they are more expensive. Although I do think that a Natural Armor Enhancement Bonus should cost less than a Deflection Bonus since the latter is more widely useful. The benefits you list are of minimal impact in nearly every case where Bracers of Armor would be used. The only important one is that Monks have a problem with wearing actual armor but I do not see how reducing the cost of Bracers of Armor are going to overpower that Class!!!! My reasoning is that there is already a cheap alternative for Bracers of Armor and there is a Long Duration easily accessable spell which covers a large portion of the Bracers range and that the Case of Largest Benefit will be for the Monk who is seen to be very weak in the Armor Class arena already. None of that is applicable to your comment here. I do not think I would have a problem with a Weapon that took a Standard Action to activate a True Strike Spell which could be used all day long though. One attack every other Round at +20 with the middle Round not being used for anything Offensive is not too bad. [/QUOTE]
