Do Enhancement Bonuses Reduce ACP?


Rules Questions


I know this might be a silly question, but I was curious if Enhancement bonuses reduce the armor check penalty for shields and armor? For example, if my armor has an ACP of -5 and I give it a +2 enhancement bonus, does that mean the ACP becomes -3 instead?


no, not unless something specifically says this, as example an armor made out of mithral


Fighters with Armor training reduce Armor Check penalty.
The Masterwork property reduces it by 1.
Mithral reduces it by 3 (not cumulative with Masterwork).

- Gauss


There's also a combat trait that lowers ACP by 1.

Was there not an enchantment called comfort or something that lowered ACP?

Yes, it is from the PFS Field Guide, costs 5,000g and lowers ACP by 1.
