Warpriest Sacred Armor and current armor bonuses clarification


Rules Questions


So it says this for sacred armor :

These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the armor might have, to a maximum of +5.

Does that mean, if I currently have a +5 bonus on my armor and use Sacred armor it's useless? Or does that mean I get Both?

The "Stacking" and "Maximum" wording is throwing me off.


"These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the armor might have, to a maximum of +5. The warpriest can enhance armor any of the following armor special abilities: energy resistance (normal, improved, and greater), fortification (heavy, light, or moderate), glamered, and spell resistance (13, 15, 17, and 19). Adding any of these special abilities replaces an amount of bonus equal to the special ability’s base cost (see Table 15–4 on page 463 of the Core Rulebook). For this purpose, glamered counts as a +1 bonus, energy resistance counts as +2, improved energy resistance counts as +4, and greater energy resistance counts as +5. Duplicate abilities do not stack. The armor must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus before any other special abilities can be added."

The maximum enhancement bonus armor can have is +5. So, if your armor reaches that cap, you have to start spending that bonus on armor special abilities listed above.


Thanks!
