Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vespucci" data-source="post: 5578267" data-attributes="member: 6675688">The Enhancement bonus type is slightly confusing.  Turning to the SRD:An enhancement bonus represents an increase in the sturdiness and/or effectiveness of armor or natural armor, or the effectiveness of a weapon, or a general bonus to an ability score. What that means is that the Enhancement bonus from Magic Vestment isn't applied to the character at all, because it's an enhancement to the armor - the clothes.  The clothes go from having an Armor bonus of +0 to an Armor bonus of X, while the Bracers of Armor retain their Armor bonus of Y.  Use whichever of X and Y is higher - these are both Armor bonuses, and overlap.Note that the contrary interpretation, that the bonus retains its Enhancement type would mean that you can't stack the bonuses from magic Armor, magic Shields, and Barkskin.  There are plenty of game examples where these bonuses do stack.The players may follow up with a request to use Magic Vestment on the Bracers themselves.  Normal interpretations of the rules say that you can't do this, but it isn't a big problem to allow it.  (i.e. It doesn't lead to strange conclusions about other aspects of the game: it will lead to players assuming that Bracers of Armor are fair game for most other armor modifying magic.)</blockquote>
