Quote: Bracers of Armor These items appear to be wrist or arm guards. They surround the wearer with an invisible but tangible field of force, granting him an armor bonus of +1 to +8, just as though he were wearing armor. Both bracers must be worn for the magic to be effective. Moderate conjuration; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, mage armor, creator’s caster level must be at least two times that of the bonus placed in the bracers; Price 1,000 gp (+1), 4,000 gp (+2), 9,000 gp (+3), 16,000 gp (+4), 25,000 gp (+5), 36,000 gp (+6), 49,000 gp (+7), 64,000 gp (+ cool ; Weight 1 lb.
Bracers of Armor give you an Armor bonus to AC. It's the same as if you were wearing anything from padded leather armor to full plate mail, without any of the penalties.
Specifically, these Bracers ONLY give an armor bonus. That's why they're Bracers of Armor. For energy resistance, try a Ring of Energy Resistance. If you do decide to wear actual armor, you can get Armor of Energy Resistance too.

If you do decide to wear actual armor, you can get Armor of Energy Resistance too. I know but is there a rule that actually states I can't treat them as armor for the purpose of enchanting them. Exp if I get a +2 pair of bracers of armor and make them +1 with energy resistance minor also a +1 bonus for a total of +2 As it would still be a Bracers of Armor +2. As long as the char making the bracers of armor knows the feats/spells required to also make the Energy resistance armor enchantment. Note I am just using energy resistance as an example. If not then is there some form of armor/clothes or something I can enchant with armor enchantments that a char. that isn't proficient with any types of armor, can wear and not take penalties? It's like Dustana: they count as both armor and shield, stack with both armor and shield bonuses, but are neither armor nor shield. So can you enchant them?

They now have Resist energy, and are +2 is there a rule that says I can not do this~ cause logically it makes since, at least to me, and if I can pay for it~ and want to give up the extra AC then I want to know if this is possible XD

Rain Yupa You could probably enchant regular cloth armor/clothes to have the effects of energy resistance as if it was armor, but with no actual armor bonus. I'd personally be okay with that. But it would really be a GM call. By the rules, bracers of armor are a one-type item. They can only EVER give you more armor bonus. Never enhancement, or dodge, or cold resistance, or anything else. The only types of equipment that could have multiple 'layers' of enhancements on them are weapons, armor, and shields. Nevermind I got my answer. Magic Item Compendium, Arms and Equipment, Epic Level hand Book, and DMG all stat that Bracers of Armor can be enchanted with Armor Enchantments, and Armor Crystals.
Quote: by the RAW from Arms & Equipment, the ELH, and the DMG, you can have +10 Bracers of Armor that can have an additional +5 worth of armor enhancements added, at a final cost of 225,000 gp. This does not include armor enhancements of a fixed price such as Energy Resistance, which could be piled on top of that, nor does it include effects from Armor Augment Crystals, which could also be attached to the Bracers. The WoTC Thread. I trust them a lot more then Gaia sorry guys ^^'
