Weapon Proficiency

I was kinda kidding...have you seen the dr and immunities on those constructs? One with 70 ac sans expertise would be nuts? (Well mine would have been nuts without it, you can make them pretty impervious to anything with IA equipment.)

I'm getting nervous about my 85 ac dragon now

[Korr]

74 (AC) = 10 (base) + 2 (armor skin) + 14 (dodge (cuz 2x from boots)) + 4 (tumble) + 16 (dex construct) + 6 (armor) + 9 (shield) + 5 (deflection) + 5 (natural) + 3 (dodge from construct)

Add epic dodge means adding also another 4 AC from tumble for 78 AC (essentially 83 AC with epic dodge).

[Shhhhhhh]

You can get 7 dodge bonus from boots and still max out your dex to +12?

and yeah Lokey, i know they have other good things, but I just meant, if you get hit 3 or 4 attacks per round, epic dodge isnt gonna save you. Or even have that much effect.

Not everything can be done solo and it's ridiculous to think so. You can get +12 dex with 7 dodge boots using Aura of Vitality (+4 dex), TC Job Bonus (+1) dex, and empowered Cat's Grace (+7 dex). If you can't cast it all yourself too bad, try grouping.

Even without the 7 dodge boots you can wear Glimmer Boots for example and you get 10ac (dodge) + 6ac (dex buffs). A druid can easily max their dex in TC with one spell.

7 dex (boots) + 1 dex (job bonus) + 4 dex (aura of vitality) = 12 dex

[Shhhhhhh]

And the 4 less dodge bonus would bring it to the 70 AC i mentioned

7 dex (boots) + 1 dex (job bonus) + 4 dex (aura of vitality) = 12 dex

I'm going to be picky here, but the 1 dex from the job bonus doesn't transfer to shifted forms (but the TC job token works for that 1 more dex, so you can still do it. though the aura and token are limited duration, if you are even a high enough level druid to cast aura of vitality.)

Korr's calcuation would only work with aura of vitality, an empowered cat's grace that rolled max, and the TC job token running all at the same time while wearing boots of force. (so in other words, it is highly unlikely that you would ever see an AC that high)

[Korr]

A Master Artisan staff casts "greater cats grace"(so does an Aoa belt) this stacks with cats grace and both of those stack with an Aura of Vitality. 5 from greater 5 from cats (or 7 empowered) and 4 from AoV = 14-16 Dex
