Back with another report of what seems to be a bug in item interaction: Bracers of Armor only seem to work if their bonus is greater than what the worn armor is.

Example:
If I am wearing Hide Armor (+3), only a Bracers of Armor +4 or higher seems to apply its bonus, and even then it's only +1 above my existing AC. Bracers +5 only adds 2, +6 adds 3, etc. This is reproducible on multiple characters.

That's not a bug. The Bracers give an 'armor' bonus which of course does not stack with the armor bonus from actual armor - so only the item with the highest bonus will count.

Ah, I see. It's not super clear from the description, but that makes sense. Thanks!

Check out the global "Stacking bonuses" section of the rules.

If the modifiers to a particular roll do not stack, only the best bonus and worst penalty applies. Dodge bonuses and circumstance bonuses however, do stack with one another unless otherwise specified.

I think my confusion stemmed from this part of the description of the item:

The description makes it seem as though it is +AC (force) instead of +AC (untyped). Again, I get the difference now that I've been provided with some information. I'm still navigating the intricacies of 3.5e; my games previously were 4e and 5e, but my current GM is a "3.5e is the only edition worth playing" type of GM. Thanks again for all the help (and I'm looking forward to the upcoming TOB and Dungeonscape updates to the community set, since those will only help!).

Ahhh I see. Wasn't trying to be mean just mentioning the section on bonuses. I assumed you where totally new to D&D games. Sorry!

3.5 has allot more "gotcha" and corner cases than 4e/5e will have.

So I guess adding that the "effect" for Bracers of Armor is a 'Force' effect so its useful vs incorporeal touch attacks would just add more fun! Especially as your "normal" armor bonus would not be included on your touch attack but your bracers of armor bonus "would" get included vs incorporeal touch attacks.

Just an FYI it can be useful to wear Bracers of Armor if you plan to fight some undead.

Just to know, it isn't neither +AC (Force), nor +AC (untyped). It is +AC (Armor), that is itself one of the most confusing bonus types on 3rd edition. As a rule of thumb, HL is working fine, but it is worth to remember that incorporeal Touch Attacks meant to not be Touch if they were not Incorporeal will behave weirdly (because they can't actually ignore the Bracers, as said above).

I have a little issue to add here. The Collision enchantment that adds +5 directly to final damage should be added in the sheet, but it isn't. It is working only in description, like the more circumstantial or dice-based enchantments. By the rules it should be added and affected as other direct bonuses, like Weapon Specialization, since it can be doubled by Critical and similar effects, as it isn't a dice-based bonus to damage.

Just found a few problems. After theurgeing with a warlock and going into hellfire warlock, invocations disappear from the warlock tab. Sublime Chord's spells per day is messed up. That's all I can think of for now.

Thanks. The Sublime Chord has already been fixed for the next release.

As for the warlock, I'll need more information. I'm not sure what you mean. Can you provide the portfolio or provide instructions to reproduce this issue?
