Their magic bestows an effective Armor Class equal to someone wearing armor and employing a shield. If armor is actually worn, the bracers have no additional effect, but they do work in conjunction with other magical items of protection. The Armor Class bonus that bracers of defense bestow is determined by making a percentile roll and consulting the following table: | Roll | AC | | ----- | --- | | 01-05 | 8 | | 06-15 | 7 | | 16-35 | 6 | | 36-50 | 5 | | 51-70 | 4 | | 71-85 | 3 | | 86-00 | 2 |
