I play a Warforged spellcaster, and I recently received Illusionist's Bracers. Do these bracers count as armor for the purpose of being incorporated into my character's body and being unremovable against my will?
DDB classifies illusionist's bracers as a wondrous item rather than as armor. I don't know if that is a D&D thing or a DDB thing, though. Even so, bracers are traditionally considered armor, so I think all but the most pedantic DMs would let that one fly. Also, I'm wondering if you can integrate multiple pieces of armor at the same time. I don't see where the rules address this, although you would not get +1 from doing so multiple times. It could still be useful by way of making them impossible to take from you while you live.
On second thought, I think the wondrous item issue does make a difference. Integration requires armor of a type with which you are proficient. If there is no armor type for the item, you cannot confirm proficiency with it. And even if you have no armor proficiencies, you are able to use illusionist's bracers without penalty, so it does place them outside the realm of armor in game terms.
