Message: <blockquote data-quote="MerakSpielman" data-source="post: 797259" data-attributes="member: 7464">So you can't think of ANY non-armor item that grants armor bonuses? Like Bracers of Armor (Wonderous Item), or a Robe of the Archmagi (+5 armor bonus, also a wondrous item)?These items are not "House Rules." They are core rulebook prescidents.This isn't covered explicitly in the rules, but I would say that if you wear a Robe of the Archmagi with a suit of Platemail of Fire Resistance then only one would be functional - either the one touching the skin of the wearer or the one on the outside layer. Clothing of Armor would take up the Armor slot of the character.(edit: the preceeding sentance WOULD be a house rule, clothing is technically an unslotted wondrous item, as others are pointing out. In which case, it cannot bear the special enchantmets of enchanted armor, like Glamoured and Slipperiness any more than Bracers can.)How so? Most high-level wizards already have an amulet of natural armor +5, a Ring of Protection +5, and Bracers of Armor +5. Clothing of Armor wouldn't stack with the Bracers, and would cost about the same. So they get their +5 armor bonus from Clothing of Armor instead of from Bracers of Armor. So what?</blockquote>
