How works Armored Kilt enchantments?


Rules Questions


You can have a +3 A. Kilt in a +2 Fullplate?
Then how this works?

Grand Lodge

The Fullplate effectively completely turns off the armored kilt. Armor bonuses do not stack.


Let me rephrase it:
-A +3A.K joined with a +2Fullplate
The AK can be joined with an armor making it 1 category heavier, heavy armors aren't affected.
So... they stack or what? I can have a AK with enchantmens and FP with abilities?
I'm kinda lost...

The only way for an enchanted Armored Kilt to give you any benefit beyond an additional +1 to AC is for it to be your sole armor. And you do not get even that benefit if you try to wear it over heavy armor.

You cannot add an Armored Kilt, to Heavy Armor.

It does nothing.

If you are wearing Full Plate, then you might as well wear the Armored Kilt on your head. That's about as effective.

The Armored Kilt's bad language is the primary reason it was banned in PFS, I suspect. You can't add an Armored Kilt to heavy armor as heavy armor already has the areas it would protect covered. Armored kilts are for the completion of partial armor sets such as chain shirts, leather jacks, and so forth. Plate Armor, or any heavy armor, however, is a complete suit of armor.

Now, adding an Armored Kilt to Mithral Fullplate, is another question...

Not really. Mithral Fullplate is still Heavy Armor. It's just been made lighter.

No. It counts as one category lighter, for everything, except proficiency.

It's medium armor.

Where is it located in the Armor Table? Go ahead and check, I'll wait.

The material an armor is composed of does not change it's form or the areas of the body it covers. Full plate covers THE ENTIRE BODY including anything that an armored kilt would cover so the stacking rules apply.

I rest my case.


Ok.... change the question (damn fullplate exemple)
+1 Mirrores AK joined with a +3 Brawling Chainshirt how does it works?
BTW thx for telling me it's banned from PFS didn't know.

That's cool RAI.

Not RAW though.

The magic enchantments applied to the armored kit are totally deactivated. Otherwise it runs as normal.

Otherwise I would suggest that you check the piecework armor rules in Ultimate Combat and find an answer you like better there.


I believe most people would run armored kilt as magical enhancements on it has no effect unless it is the only armor worn.


That's what I supposed, thx for clarifying it
