Armor Bonus

EFU has a script which inflicts an AC penalty if you wear two different items with an Armor Bonus. This script is unnecessary, because in base NWN, different Armor Bonuses do not stack, only the highest does.

This has led to a weird situation where a +1 Armor Bonus on my bracers actually decreases my AC by 1.

This script exists because in base nwn the +1 armour on your bracers stacks with unenchanted full plate.

Drat. Thanks for explaining.

Is it even necessary though? There are basically no bracers with +1 AC, the only ones I've seen are relics.  And a Cleric can cast MV anyway.
So the power level of bracers seems effectively controlled by the fact bracer AC is super rare. Meaning it might be possible to just fix this bug by removing the script and purging any bracers that aren't meant to be that strong, or are Monk Only Do Not UMD.
