[QUOTE="Adjudicator, post: 11558, member: 1793"] Does the AC bonus gained from using a shield of buckler stack with the armor bonus granted from Bracers of Armor? example: A rogue wearing Bracers of Armor 3 and a 1 Buckler. Is his AC 13, they do not stack (the Bracers provide the highest protection so they override the shield), or is it AC 15, they do stack ( 3 from Bracers plus 2 from Buckler). Bracers of Armor replace having to wear conventional armor, but at a higher cost, ranging from AC 1 (equivalent of padded armor) to AC 8 (equivalent of full plate) without incurring extra weight or check penalties, but again at a much higher cost. IMO, they should stack, seeing as Bracers of Armor max protection ends at AC 8, where as 5 Full Plate provides AC 13 (coupled with a 5 large shield AC 20). You can use a shield while wearing other types of bracers. Would love response to this, not looking to bend or break the rules, just a little clarification as to the use of bracers. I apologize if this topic has already been covered, did look through the posts and if it was listed I missed it. [/QUOTE]
