Okay,

Base is 10
Add 4 bonus for 18 Dexterity, now AC is 6.
Add 1 bonus for Helm of Balderan, now AC is 5.
Add 1 bonus for Ring of Protection +1, now AC is 4.
Add 7 bonus for Bracers of Defense 3, now AC is -3.

Now watch with Spell which sets Base AC to 6 and is cumulative with Dexterity.

Base is 10
Add 4 for Dex, now 6.
Add 1 bonus for Helm of Balderan, now 5
Add 1 for ring, now 4.
Cast spell (mage, level 1 armour), now AC is 0.
Add ? for bonus from Bracers of Defense 3? cus AC went to -3, not -7.

It was cumulative with the helm and ring but not with the bracers?

Seems that a 4 bonus in Armor is sufficient reason to cast the spell,
until you have the bracers, then nada.

Anyone know why?
