Having realized the futility of AC, I recently had some ideas for cheaply acquiring armor/weapon special abilities (such as Blurring, Smoking, etc.) and am currently wondering whether they would work. The idea is to circumvent costs of stacking bonuses on the same armor/weapon, and cheaply having each enchantment on a separate item (i.e. having four +2 enchanted items, rather than one +8 item).
1. Armor/Shield spikes granting special abilities in addition to those bestowed by a primary weapon. Is someone wearing a spiked armor/shield while holding a weapon considered to be "wielding" the spikes for the purpose of enchantments like Smoking?
2. Bracers of Armor granting such abilities as well. Same question as before; is someone wearing the bracers considered to be "wielding"? In pathfinder, these abilities do not function if worn armor is granting a higher AC bonus, but it would work if the armor's AC bonus were less than or equal to that of the bracers?
3. Normal Clothing/Robes. I've heard whispers that nonmagical garments can be enchanted like armor. Is it possible? And if it is, would the special ability(s) given to this clothing function with enchanted armor on over/under it? Would such clothing occupy body slots?
