Does EMA and Magic Armor stack?

Post by liver and bones » Tue Sep 12, 2017 6:40 am

New to the wizarding scene, so I'm not sure how that relates. Are the spells considered two different entities meaning they stack, or will EMA just trump magic armor's +1 dodge AC completely?

For everything but a spellsword they stack

Actually my reason for questioning lol. I was thinking about the implications of a bonus +8 dodge AC with the two combined.

So, does magic armor not stack at all for spellswords? Not even the base +1 dodge AC?

It doesn't stack at all for spellswords.

It does still stack if someone else casts the normal magic armor on the spellsword, though, right?

Doubtful (because the effects doesn't track who cast, just level)

How does the shadow variant interact with spellswords out of curiosity?
