If you enchant armored kilt for extar defense and your other armor you pair it with is enchanted do they stack?

Grand Lodge

No. They subsume each other.

In PF, you would have to put a deflection bonus on the kilt (trumping, not stacking with any other deflection bonuses), or have it up your dex (only applied once, limited by main armor dex bonus), or in some manner other than straight AC boost. Magical plusses have never stacked (as far as I ever played). I think this stopped in Basic D&D with a Helm +5, Plate +5, Shield +5, gloves +5 combination giving you a "can't be hit" effective AC. Yeh, I think they fixed this in the 1970's.... lolz.


The Deflection bonuses might not stack with each other, but it's ambiguous if Enchantments that give the armor additional properties would be subsumed as well.

In theory, you could add a +1 Kilt of Fortification to +5 Plate Mail and end up with +5 Fortified Platemail with Armored Kilt.

At the higher enchantment costs, it might be cheaper to do it this way than to just add the enchantment to the regular armor itself.

This is may be prone to abuse, so add it to your game with caution.


I think the kilt needs added effects that when you turn around and raise it in salute to your enemies they get a will save or become blind, nauseated, or gain the rage condition for a number of rounds equal to 8 minus your charisma bonus.


I'd say a kilt might need the 'protection from cold' enhancement but any self respecting person who'd wear a kilt in such weather would also consider it shameful to need such an enchantment in the first place...

Of course failing a craft check on this thing probably results in it being 'perceptably shorter than a kilt needs to be... and you know what they say. If its above your knees its a skirt!

Kilt of gender change. At least if you put it on a dwarf they get to keep their beard.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Vincent has been waiting to bust out his kilt standup act since they introduced them haha
