[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 714500, member: 1264"] Guess I didn't express myself clearly enough. Yes, [i]Armor[/i] bonuses are already covered by the normal stacking rules. The problem is in all those [i]other[/i] "Special Abilities" you can put on armor or shields. Things like Bashing, Blinding, Fortification, etc. (That [i]is[/i] what the original poster specifically asked for, right?) For example, you could wear a shirt of Heavy Fortification underneath your +5 chainmail. Price: 36,000 gp for the shirt (+6 total), 25,000 gp for the +5 armor.
