What did you think the Ability did based on my Summary?OF COURSE More is Better!!! But this Side Topic does not help the discussion!! I have been told in this Thread that Protection from Incorporeal Attacks should cost a Significant Amount!The Maximum Dexterity Bonus is an Issue with how many Characters? Of those how many would still be better off Wearing Armor over the Bracers?Few Light Armors will have an Armor Check Penalty less than 0, Arcane Spell Failure only matters for Characters that have Access to Mage Armor and Greater Mage Armor, and I would not treat Starting at 0 Armor Bonus to be a Small Matter!!!Being able to Buy up to a +8 Armor Bonus is nice but it comes with the price of Starting Lower to begin with!! Those last points of Armor Bonus are also Vastly More Expensive than the Initial Points of Armor.The Armor I mentioned earlier has a Maximum Dexterity Bonus of +10. It also has a Maximum Armor Bonus of +6 when a +5 Enhancement is placed upon it. It Costs 25405 Gold Pieces.The Equivalent Bracers of Armor cost 36000 Gold Pieces. They are able to be Increased up to +8 which would cost 64000 Gold Pieces.That means that the Character Wearing the Armor has nearly 40000 Gold Pieces to use to catch up with 2 Points of Armor. Unless each Character already has Every Defensive Item in the Game below this amount of Gold it should be possible to accomplish that goal and more!There is also the Third Level Spell Greater Mage Armor from the Spell Compendium which deserves an Extra Mention. It has the same Long Duration as Mage Armor and gives a +6 Force Armor Bonus.</blockquote>
