item "the graceful fabric" (translated from german) not working

[Dragger]

well, ive got the item "the graceful fabric" (again, just a literal translation and i cant find the English name to confirm) which i paired with "gloves of dexterety" on my character. the gloves just boost your DEX to 18, the graceful fabric is a 10Ac amor that gives a +2 to DEX up to 20 (and some other bits). but this combo dosnt seem to work because my DEX is at 18 with or without the amor. any ideas what to do or do i just have to suck it up and live with it?

Well the gloves states specifically that your Dex is set to 18.

So if you have 20 dex it will set it to 18, if you have 10 dex it will set it also to 18, it’s literally written that your dex is set to 18

it states (really ropughly translated) "the DEX of the character waering this will be boosted up to 18. if its already above that this enchantment has no effect"

i dont know the original english text that might imply something like you said, but my language is open to interpretation here. maybe just a translation thats not 100% accurate or clear, might be a bug.

It is NOT a bug - it is as victor says.

The original description;

"Set the wearer's Dexterity score to 18. The enchantment has no effect if their Dexterity score is higher without it."

SET the score to 18. - Setzt den Wert auf 18.

D. h. unter 18 = auf 18 hochgestuft, über 18 runtergestuft, aber immer fest auf 18. Punktum. Da gibt's keinen Interpretationsspielraum.

the translation sounds like it's a little off, but yeah it sets your dex to 18 and it stays there
