Beta Preview #4: Bracers of Armor


Alpha Playtest Feedback General Discussion


Imagine a chararcter wearing Bracers of Armor +1, heavy fortification and a Full Plate +2, ghost touch. Of course the armor bonus from the Bracers do not stack with the Full Plate, but would he get the benefit of both heavy fortification and ghost touch?


Probably? I don't see why not.

Rrrreally like the concept, though. But there are not so many armor special abilities within the srd that are allowed...

Just fortification, spell resistance, ghost touch, invulnerability and wild.

Ghost Touch would be rather redundant on a pair of bracers unless you are incorporeal. Bracers of armor, as mage armor, already confer their armor bonus against incorporeal touch attacks.

Its mostly of interest for monkish character who, be this change of rules, get the option to things like energy resistance or skill bonuses.
36k gp might not be a bad deal for immunity to criticals, but it also blocks the bracers slot.

It's a money saving effort, like the Dasatana (OA, AaEG) in that it allows for the trick of +5 ghost touch armour and +1 energy resistant bracers.

Like others have said, it ties up the bracers slot, so I don't think it that bad.

Energy resistance is not possible, though - it costs extra money and not a +x bonus...
