Ring Of Protection Stack with Armor??

[Raker_]

We are playing a game right now and the GM is saying it doesnt but i swear it does

[Mort the Cleverly Named]

Yes. Armor gives an Armor bonus, and the ring gives a Deflection bonus. Bonuses with different names pretty much always stack.

[Odraude]

The Ring of Protection gives a deflection bonus, which does stack with normal armor bonus. It does not, however, stack with other deflection bonuses. So:

Armor + Shield + Ring of Prot. = A-Ok

But multiple Rings of Protection will not stack. So, yes, you are right and the GM is wrong.

[Cheapy]

Bracers of Armor do not stack with real armor, of course.

But Rings of Protection work just fine.

[Aelryinth]

In AD&D, rings of protection did not stack with magic armor. in 3.5 and PF, they certainly do.

Show him your character sheet where the boxes of ac bonuses are. There is a box for deflection bonus, and a box for armor bonus, and a box for the total. This is because they are different types of bonuses and therefore stack.
