It would be pretty easy. The only weird one is shields. I put them below as just a piece of your armor bonus although I can see your thought about making them count as a cover bonus. If you are hiding behind a wall and have a shield should you also get your shield bonus too? Really that is a very minor distinction and can be ruled either way. Clearly some of the numbers would have to be changed around a bit to make better sense, the approach is solid though.I think this can cause some issues though. If you get +1 to AC from a ring of protection and then you have +1 armor, they stack or do not stack. Based on what you say they do not. You cast barkskin and prayer, they stack or do not stack? You have a +1 shield and a defender weapon? The problem is that in some of those case you may want them to stack. In others you do not. This does not give you enough mobility to allow for that.</blockquote>
