Greater Visage of the Deity NA AC not stacking

Unread post by Habitu »

Do correct me if I am wrong but I have noticed with my cleric that GVD's +1 to Natural Armor AC does not stack, I thought NA AC stacked am I incorrect in this understanding?

Hi there. Only dodge AC stacks, all others (except untyped) don't.

Unfortunate but thank you for answering! I may have been thinking of it being similar to Tortoise Shell in the way of stacking. But at least I know now why I don't get that +1.

Tortoise shell doesn't stack natural AC too. It just has +9 natural on maximum caster level, so you get 5 more over your +4 AC amulet, but they do not stack, the higher one applies.

any spell that grants NA doesnt stack with other spells or enchantments

PrC abilities that grant NA do stack with spells tho, with maybe the exception of frost mage, i dont remember if that was ever changed or not but it didnt stack because it was an enchantment
everyone is evil till proven otherwise

Yes that I did know, I suppose I should of used the term overwrite vs stacking sorry.

That's good to know though I may not know the PRCs offhand, thank you both!
