[SPOILERS ON ITEMS, JUST IN CASE]
Hello folks,
I just found the Plate +3 in Durlag's tower. It turned out to be useless for my party though as both my main characters AC remained lower due to wearing a field plate + the guardian ring + 2 + balduran's helmet. The same goes for Dorn with his Ankheg Plate + a Ring of the Princes.
The simple reason behind this seems to be that you cannot equip a "magical" armour with other protective magical items. I don't really understand the rule behind this though. Wearing a magical shield or helmet does not cause any problems when I try to put the armour on. Cloaks and Rings do not work however.
Could anyone briefly explain how this rule works? I've never really thought about it in my countless playthoughs of the game.
Thanks!
