Mage armor

[lumen11]

Is it right that it stacks with normal armor.

 

[Noldor Elf]

No, they both give Armor bonus , and bonuses with same name doesn't stack.

OK, thanks. I didn't think so, but I couldn't find that rule.

It doesn't stack with a shield, either.

 

[Cespinar]

I hope it stacks with shield. One is cover other is armor

 

[Vaxalon]

Mage armor stacks with the inappropriately-named shield spell, which offers a cover bonus, but not with a shield, which gives an armor bonus.

Yah, what Vaxalon said.

Confusion like this is why I always use italics when I talk about spell names.

Just to add to the confusion... the armor bonus from mage armor does stack with the cover bonus from a tower shield. But the cover bonus from a tower sheild does not stack with the cover bonus from the shield spell. However, the cover bonus from the shield spell does stack with the armor bonus provided by a shield that isn't a tower shield. Of course, we must also mention that the cover bonus from a tower shield does stack with the armor bonus from a non-tower shield.

Wheeeeee....
