[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1796426, member: 224"] [b]a differing view[/b] Or not. There is, of course, another way to view that topic. But, to your question: Sure, a spell-caster with the correct feat and spell list could make such an item. For example, you could make a "Vest of Ultimate Protection", which might have several bonuses to AC (Armor, Natural Armor, Deflection, Luck, etc.), all of which would stack. With one vest, you'd not be wasting any slots. A while ago I posted on such an item: [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=99340&page=1&pp=20]Monk's Robe of Celestial Armor[/URL] However, this sort of item would cost more than separate, slotted items. If we assume these powers (bonuses to AC) are not "similar" (as defined in the DMG magic item creation section), the price of all but the most costly bonus is multiplied by 1.5. Sticking to DMG only items, you can still pick up a high AC by piling on the different bonuses....but you already knew that. The fighter in our party (12th level) has a AC 38....and (reading over the boards) that's not particularly good. Tell that to the poor monsters with attack bonuses of only +20! [/QUOTE]
