Armor Bonus vs. Slashing (Golden Circle)

Armor Bonus vs Slashing +3 (Deflection)
I have no other bonuses associated with Slashing. Where does the Slashing bonus show up on my Character Panel when I equip Golden Cirlce? It may not show up because it is only effective vs. Slashing Weapons. How do I know I get the Bonus.

You can see it in the combat log.

Do note that if you've another deflection AC item, they won't stack. Say you've a +2 deflection AC ring. Then you'll have your AC+2 for the ring vs everything that isn't slashing, and AC+3 vs slashing. However, if you've a +3 AC ring, you'll still just have +3 AC vs everything.

You can check the combat log, but you've to look for the effect. If your AC is 51 with a +2 AC deflection item, then an enemy shouldn't hit you with a slashing weapon if they hit 51 AC. They'll hit you if they score a 52 however (51, +the extra point AC the +3 vs slashing gives over a +2 deflection item).

In general, pretty much all armor bonuses vs slashing, piercing or bludgeoning are bad. Slashing might be slightly better, but its still nothing to take notice of.

Yep when comes to the ac rules two types of the same bouns will not stack there one bouns that is exception to that rule which is dodge. But i you have bouns that come from differient sources, Natural, Shield, Deflection, Armor, then there enchantment to these types it will increase the ac.
