[QUOTE="Perithoth, post: 653709, member: 10110"] Hello all, As my brain slowly starts to filter through all the material that was covered in the 2 hour seminar at WF, here is the latest to pop to the surface: [I have edited this message to better reflect what I remember from the seminar. I accidently allowed othrer rumors that were floating out there to influence my first post of this and this post now more accurately reflects what I did hear. I am sorry for the confusion.] In the current version of 3e Armor and Shields are an exception to the rules for stacking. Both armor and shields were armor bonuses. No more. Mundane Armor remains armor bonus and a shield becomes a shield bonus. As different bonuses they stack. This has some interesting implications for mage armor. As it stands now the Mage Armor spell's armor bonus does not stack with a mundane shield's armor bouns. This should change. Shield spells are changing but all the changes were not given. Right now they provide a +7 cover bonus to AC which stacks with everything. Depending on what type of bonus they give it will impact what it stacks with. Dodge bonuses still stack. Circumstance bonuses from different sources still stack. Bryan Blumklotz AKA Perithoth Lord of Grumpiness [/QUOTE]
