Has Robe of Archmagi ac bonus been ruled on yet?

[Dark Sorcerer]

Have the devs made an official ruling on the type of bonus of a robe of Archmagi?

Can the robe be augmented as magic armor?

Does the robe need a +1 bonus before other augments?

Is the robe limited to +8 like bracers of armor?

Can the robe have non-plus enhancements?

If a ruling has been made, can someone provide a link to the ruling?

Going by the item description I'm going to say it's an armor bonus since it says:

Quote:

+5 armor bonus to AC

Also it's a specific item not armor so can't be enhanced like armor can be, and it isn't bracers of armor so doesn't follow the rules for bracers of armor and it only provides an armor bonus nothing like fortification or the like.

If you want to make a variant item that does something different -- talk to your GM, but it will be homebrew.

Abraham is right; the item description is sufficiently precise.
No ruling required there :-)
