Right, but remember the thread title; I'm talking specifically about Dungeon Fantasy, which uses the prices for enchanting the whole set of armor. If it was piece by piece enchanting that would totally make sense, but with DFs whole set of armor pricing it brings up the question.

If I have both layers of armor in full (in this case Giant Spider Silk armor will go under DR9 plate armor) at the time of enchanting, so I'm not talking about swapping out pieces or anything like that, why wouldn't the enchantment affect all the pieces? Especially given Kromm's ruling about enchantments providing the same effect not stacking from earlier in the thread.
