Re: Magical DR stacking?
Thanks everyone. I had forgotten that magical armour-DR breaks so easily. That make it much less of a problem than I feared.

Re: Magical DR stacking?
Sorry, when I made my last reply, I was sleepy and thinking about stacking DB, not DR. People normally ask about the Deflect spell.
Here was the post I was referencing: Quote:

Re: Magical DR stacking?
The main problem with letting multiple Fortify enchantments stack is when you have someone enchant three or four shirts with, say, two levels of Fortify each, and suddenly they have more DR than a steel breastplate for a fraction of the weight and cost. It's slightly more fragile (If your game even keeps track of armor damage), but the occasional magical repair would keep it in good shape.
Fortify and Armor should stack, however, yes. |

Re: Magical DR stacking?
If they wear their magic shirts under mundane armor, it will get penetrated much less often. I think it's too abusable, and don't allow multiple Fortify enchantments to affect a given location.

Re: Magical DR stacking?
No you don't. That rule is for armor, not for clothing. If I wear an undershirt, a button-up shirt, a light vest, and a jacket, I'm not at -3 to DX. Just like you're not at -1 DX for wearing underwear under your pants.
I'm not saying that using enchanted shirts is a great deal, but it leads to some very serious oddities. Especially if you have it on your clothes under your actual armor. |
