Yuan-ti Scale Mail
My Astarion have AC = 10 base + 3 (dex bonus) so total = 13
When I wear Yuan-ti Scale Mail (with AC 15) I should have AC = 15 (from armor) + 3 (dex) + 3(from abuility of Yuan-ti Scale Mail). So why game show what I have AC only 18 (without ability bonus)?

No. Yuan-ti scale mail is medium armor that lets you stack DEX like it was light armor (ie. doesn't cap out at +2 bonus).

The correct formula is 15 + your DEX modifier.

If your DEX is really high, these kinds of armors become really strong. They are kind of OP for rangers for example. The next one like this is the Armor of Agility in Act 3, with 17 base AC. So a Ranger with 22 DEX and the Armor of Agility has 17 + 6 = 23 AC.

Yes.
I’m a Gloomstalker with 20 dex (+5)
So that scale mail gives me 20AC off the rip. It’s awesome.

There’s a similar but better one later too
