Special ability armor/weapon bonuses.

[Wippit Guud]

Nowhere that I can see does it say I can't take the same enhancement twice. Can you take something like Silent Moves twice, for a +20 bonus at +2 enchantment value?

Shadow Armor specifically says the bonus doesn't stack with other +hide stuff, so that I would rule you could only take once. But Silent (or Slick, or other +skill stuff) looks liek you can take multiple times.

Off the top of my head, I don't think you can.

From a spirit-of-the-rules standpoint, I'd say no, for the same reason you can't put flaming twice on a weapon.

From a letter-of-the-rules standpoint, I'd still say no, because the enchantments you mention give circumstance bonuses to the skill in question, and circumstance bonuses from the same circumstance don't stack. Well, you _could_ still get something like the silent enchantment twice, but it wouldn't do you any good.

since the bonus from shadow is a circumstance bonus, and cicumstance bonuses from the same source (your armor in this case) don't stack (pg 177 DMG)

Also, on table 8-6 and 8-7 (For Armor and shields page 180 DMG) and table 8-15 and 8-16 (For weapons) says "IF you roll a special ability twice, only one counts. If you roll two versions of the same special ability, use the better."

So no, you can't add the same ability twice.
