Hi All. Just wanted to get some confirmation - is it correct that the AC bonus provided by bracers of armor does not stack with mage armor?
Just wanted to be sure; thanks.
Correct, it does not stack.
Bracers of armor, Actual armor, and mage armor all provide an "Armor bonus." Bonus types don't stack with each other, however different types of bonuses do stack. For example a "Shield bonus" "Armor bonus" and "Deflection bonus" would all stack together.
Yes. Both bestow an 'armor' bonus to AC, and therefore do not stack with each other or with actual armor.

As far as I am aware, the only bonus for AC that stacks with modifiers of the same type is Dodge, all other modifiers do not stack with modifiers of the same type.
EDIT: to clarify, only the highest Armor, Shield, Deflection and Natural Armor bonuses apply, regardless of the number of sources. If you have multiple sources for a Dodge bonus, ALL the Dodge bonuses apply.
Thanks for the help, all; that more than clears things up.
