chaos4567: Hello everyone,

I bought Pathfinder: Kingmaker after release and left it to ripen as I encountered a few bugs and a few balancing issue that dampened my motivation a bit. So I restarted with a new character today as I gave the game enough time to be polished. Unfortunately, I ran across a new set of bugs: One, Tartuccio stood around in the Trading Post of Oleg, right after the defense. I am quite certain that this is not supposed to happen. Second, when I equipped magical items like Tartuccio's ring, the bracers of armor, or that cloak gained in the battle in the castle (at the beginning), they did not update the stats in the lower left of the character window.

Honestly, I am getting a bit frustrated.

Anyone else encountering these issues?

green.rabbit: I've already reported this gnome at Oleg's post. And I hope you will F11 it too, it kills the story!
Yea, I'v met him after defending post only.
Not-stacking bonus looks a bug for me, as only +X armor(e.g.) shouldn't stack. And I found if I take of a mail (without +1 bonus, basic only) bracers (+1 armor) do provide bonus +1 to AC.
Need more details to report, like shielding, dodging...

Yeah, it's frustrating, all these regressions...

InEffect: Stacking rules are simple. unspecified sources and dodge stack indefinitely. everything else only stacks if sources are different. the bracers, for example give armor AC,so won't stack with any kind of armor, but will stack with monk robes, as those give dodge AC. same with shields not stacking with shield spell, etc.

only messy part of stacking is stacking natural armor from different sources, as not all of them stack, but it's more the game's fault as they forgot to specify sources on some of them.

green.rabbit: Hm.
So,
1) bracer+1 (armor) + chain shirt (4 AC) = 4 AC
2) chain shirt +1 (4+1AC) = 5AC
3) bracer+1 (armor) + chain shirt +1 (4 + 1AC) = 5 AC
4) bracer+1 (natural) + chain shirt +1 (4 + 1AC) = 6 AC
I believe we used to play different way, and 1st rule seems not a valid for me.
I need to find my DM and kick him until I got all explanations.

Ranayna: Is it really the case that same name bonus but from different sources should stack?
To be honest, i do not know my Pathfinder that well, but i always assumed that it's essentially the same as for 3.5

For example a Belt of Dexterity+2 and the transmuter dexterity buff (don't remember the exact name) do not stack, since both are enhancement bonuses.
