Nature: Magic Item
Feat: Craft Magic Arms & Armor
A magical armor (or shield) has an enhancement bonus, which is added to its regular Armor bonus. All magic armor is also "Masterwork" armor, reducing armor check penalties by 1. Shield enhancement bonuses stack with armor enhancement bonuses.
It is also possible to add special abilities to a magic armor, trading in a part of the normal bonus for a different effect instead. To add such features the armor must also have at least a +1 bonus on it, however.

| +10 | 100'000 gp |
Armor Enhancement
An armor (or shield) can't have a pure enhancement bonus higher than +5, without the use of Epic-level crafting.
The listed costs for values of +6 and up are instead used to determine price when special abilities are added to the armor.
A single armor can't have a total effective bonus rating (enhancement + special abilities + equivalent effects from character abilities, spells & powers) higher than +10.
Caster Level: 3 x (Enhancement bonus), or the CL listed for its Armor Abilities (if any), whichever is higher.
