Green Steel AC splash stacks with Dragontouched? Help me!

[BigPotatoHead]

Hi guys, I have a doubt make a GS item with +5 Reflex Save (Resistance), +1 Fort Save (Insight) - +3 AC (deflection), +3 saves (resistance), +10 balance, +20 hp , +3 Str Skills - Elemental Mastery (+1 d6 acid, electric, fire, cold, 10-20% for each). And I wonder if the +3 AC (deflection), +3 saves (resistance) will stack with Heightened Awareness (+4 insight bonus to AC), Protection +5 (Deflection bonus) and Resistance +5 from my armor DT?

Thank you for your attention and await answers

I am highly confused here. first rule of AC - same bonus type (such as natural armor bonus associated with barkskin) does not stack with the same type, you merely get the highest value. for example, barskin pot (+3) does not stack with barkskin from a ranger(+5) weak example, but it'll work.

there are, of course, a few exceptions - with dodge stacking with itself, bonuses from items *only* stacking if a different numerical value.

but to answer your question - no, the saves on the item wont stack with your DT armor, and no, the +3 deflection doesn't stack with the protection +5 on the DT armor - as a matter of fact, i dont know how you managed to get the +3 on the item in the first place.

your best bet is to make a weapon with +4 insight on tier 3 and a mineral II accessory will give you heavy fort and +5 protection (deflection bonus), but the +5 on a greensteel accessory does *not* stack with the +5 from dragontouched, but this can be swapped out for +4 natural or +3 dodge - keep in mind, the dodge won't stack with a chattering ring and the natural does not stack with barkskin.

hope that gives you a more clear idea of what stacks.

Go Air, then Earth on an item, the second tier Earth has +3 AC Deflection and +3 Resistance(Saves) on it...nobody ever uses that though as it doesn't stack as you stated.

Stacking would be an excellent way to make that a viable choice. Or even add Superior Stability as the final effect.
