Hello. I apologize if this has been a question before, but I couldn't find it whether I'm incompetent at finding things or it doesn't exist.
I am wondering if let's say, you get an Armored Kilt of +5 Enchantments bonus to AC and a Breastplate of +5 Enchantment bonus to AC, do these stack to a total +1 Kilt +6 Breastplate +10 Combined Ench. AC bonus to a total of +17 Armor bonus? Or does it stop at +5 enchantment only?
"When you add an armored kilt to a suit of light armor, the set counts as medium armor. Likewise, a kilt and medium armor counts as heavy armor. Adding an armored kilt to heavy armor has no effect. "
from this id say when you wear an armored kilt+any mdeium or light armor. it counts together as a new set of armor.this mean that double enhancment here won't stack
(as you can't enhance the smae armor twice.)
the added bonus here would be the cost and armor check panilty and max dex. which should be lower(or higher in max dex case) then a heavier armor with the same total ac.
do notice as well that since it count as a havier armor, being proficiant with the normal armor and kilt may not mean that your are proficiant with the set of them as a heavier armor...
I was hoping it would count as heavy for other purposes and not require the feat. Thanks for answering by the way, though I'm gonna see if there's conflicting opinions since those always exist.
What about if you wear Armored Kilt and a light armor of any kind, makes it count medium, yes. But would it add the speed penalty?

Wearing medium armor reduces your speed. As kilt + light armor count as medium armor it reduces your speed.
Edit:
The armored kilt has several uses:
- It is a cheap way to get heavy armor
- you can wear it with light armor during the day and sleep in your light armor, taking off only the kilt.
- the combinations of armor + kilt have higher max dex than the heavier armors.
- you can wear it as an arcane caster as it doesn't have and chance of spell failure.
Now that's a shame. One more question, would you benefit from special enchantments (i.e. Spell Resistance on Kilt and Heavy Fortification on Breastplate) both at the same time, since the bonus to AC does not stack?

No. I imagine it would function no different than wearing Bracers of Armor, which basically allows for the same thing (and at a higher, cheaper alternative as well).
The entry (with the important notes) for Bracers of Armor is as follows:
If a creature receives a larger armor bonus from another source, the bracers of armor cease functioning and do not grant their armor bonus or their armor special abilities. If the bracers of armor grant a larger armor bonus, the other source of armor ceases functioning.
Extrapolating that to apply to the Armored Kilt, you'd get a rule akin to this:
If a creature receives a larger enhancement bonus from another source, the armored kilt cease functioning and do not grant their enhancement bonus or their armor special abilities. If the bracers of armor grant a larger enhancement bonus, the other source of armor ceases functioning.
Thank you all for the help, it was conclusive!
