> We need to fix the Armor Issues. See Proposal On Experimental: Here is the text,
>  Hi Folks,
> This is how *I* think we should be handling the various Armor Situations:
> Racial Natural Armor
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=NaturalArmor
> Size Modifier to Natural Armor - Always is added (GameMode)
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=NaturalArmor.STACK
> Draconic Bloodline - I *think* it's supposed to stack with the regular Natural Armor, otherwise, we 
> remove the .STACK.
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=NaturalArmor.STACK
> Barkskin or other spells
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=NaturalArmorEnhancement
> Amulets of Natural Armor
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=NaturalArmorEnhancement
> Companion Natural Armor - This is an improvement to the creature's natural Armor
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=NaturalArmor.STACK
> I'd propose the Same solution for Armor
> Equipment Armor
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=Armor
> Bonus to Armor
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=ArmorEnhancement
> Spells like Mage Armor
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=Armor
> And of course Shields
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=Shield
> Shield Bonuses
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=ShieldEnhancement
> Spells that duplicate Shield
>   - BONUS:COMBAT|AC|x|TYPE=Shield
> This allows other items to come along and either use .STACK if they work with the existing item, or 
> .REPLACE if they aren't meant to work with the original value, and if something doesn't stack then 
> they use the same type and the higher value will be applied as normal. I think this will also fix 
> the 3e Archmage Robe issue we've been having as well. No worries about it stacking with Armor 
> because of a separate body Slot.
> Though the shield one in 3e, I think we just need to give 'Shield' it's own bonus and append it to 
> the 'Armor' OS block. That way it all stacks correctly, and we don't have an overlap problem.
