[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 46531, member: 1656"] [B][/B] Well, so does Craft Magic Arms... [B][/B] I see it as the same thing. Either an enhancement bonus granted through a spell is completely different to an enhancement bonus granted through CMA&A, or they're the same. If they're different, then a Defender with a +4 Craft Enhancement bonus and a +4 GMW Enhancement bonus can assign any of its Craft Enhancement to defence. If it assigns 2 points, the it has a +2 AC bonus, a +2 Craft Enhancement bonus, and a +4 GMW Enhancement bonus. The 2 enhancement bonuses don't stack, so the result is +2 AC, +4 attack/damage. If all 4 Craft Enhancement points are assigned to AC, then the result is +4 AC, +4 attack/damage. In this case, I can see no problem with Magic Vestment pumping a suit of armor up to +14 in bonus and bonus equivalents. The alternative - they're the same. In this case, when the +4 GMW is applied to the +2 Defender, then for the duration of the spell, the sword has a +4 Enhancement bonus. The Defending property "allows the wielder to transfer some or all of the sword's enhancement bonus to his AC". Without GMW, that's up to 2 points. With GMW, it's up to 4. And in this case, armor is limited [i]by virtue of being armor[/i] to an effective bonus (enhancement plus special ability bonus equivalents) of +10. Regardless of the source of that enhancement bonus. If someone has +1 Silent Ethereal Armor of Invulnerability, it's already maxed out. Casting [i]Magic Vestment[/i] is a waste of time, because that would push the effective bonus (enhancement plus special ability bonus equivalents) above +10. I think consistency is important, and I think that the two situations are similar enough that a ruling on one implies a ruling on the other. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
