[QUOTE="tensen, post: 714827, member: 3022"] Yes... this is known in the system. Or else they would have specifically dealt with it regards to say someone with +1 chainmail, and a +1 Heavy Fortifide Shield. Yes it is cheaper to have two items in the case of armor. Which is very interesting considering with most magic item types it gets cheaper to have multiple effects on the same item, instead of having two items. Obviously someone decided that taking up the multiple slots balanced out the cheaper costs. However the stacking of shield and armor bonuses specifically apply to the armor bonus, which is contrary to the rule of none of the same bonuses stacking. Stacking a deflection bonus with a natural armor bonus, with an armor bonus are all fine and dandy. Which actually doesn't deny granting of the armor special abilities from any armor devices. I'd probably have to test it a while, but I think the only time when it would really fall into play is if the individual hand multiple magic armor type items with total special abilities bonuses that were stacking above the +10 allowed for Shield and +10 for armor. Aka, it could break the system at higher levels when the characters have a lot of magic items and a lot of gold. But there are other ways to break the system at that point. [/QUOTE]
