Ok I was always curious so I figured I would ask.
Say I have a Breast Plate and Tower Shield fight his total ACP is -14 from Breastplate and Shield.
Now if I Mithral both Breastplate and Shield (5000 GP) reduces this buy -6 (-3 each)
If both are Mwk thats another -2
Now say I take both Armor Expert and Armor Master for another -2
Now if I use a Dwarven forged enhancement from AEG-Mercenaries from 3.5 days I can reduce that by another -1
So a total ACP of 3.
But does my ACP get calculated as a sum total or to each piece of gear.
Meaning I need to specify Armor Expert and Master to be for my Shield or Armor, rather then just dropping the collective total.

So you'd have a totally of -6 from the shied (10, -3 for mithril, -1 for dwarven forged) and 0 for the armor (4, -3 for mithril, -1 for armor expert, the rest doesn't apply). You can reduce the shield by one more for masterwork.
You could have full plate and get the same ACP, since full plate is -6 reduced to 0 (6, -3 for mithril, -1 for armor expert. -1 for armor master, -1 for dwarven forged).
