[Bug] TSS DEX bonus to AC capped at +3
I have a mercenary Tower Shield Specialist (9) / Stalwart Defender (3) with 18 DEX. Her DEX bonus to AC should be +4 but she is only getting +3. Has anyone else encountered such a bug, and is there some clever trick to make it go away?

This is not an armor issue (due to TSS having armor & TS training), nor a fatigue, nor an encumbrance issue either. I'm positive it's a bug.

Check your individual character weight. Are you non-light?

If so, raise str or remove gear to get to light. Its not easy getting to light with a tower shield specialist in heavy armor

As I said, it's not an encumbrance issue: my TSS is at light encumbrance.

Not party encumbrance, but individual encumbrance? Are you in heavy armor with s tower shield? Just making sure

What is the armors default max dex?

I haven’t checked it lately but it used to not reduce the skill check penalty like it was supposed to.

Save/reload didn't help. :(

I went to Anoriel and bought a new merc... I made her IDENTICAL to my current TSS (race/stats/feats/...), and switched all the gear from my old TSS to the new one. The new merc gets the correct DEX bonus (+4) whereas my current TSS doesn't (+3). This verifies it is a bug.

If I could somehow get the merc for free (it's expensive!) I would just scrap my current bugged tank and recreate her via Anoriel.

Correct.

Yes.

1 (Bladed Plate), but this is not the issue since TSS has access to armor and TS training which increase the max -- see Mork's scan, for example.

It wouldnt hurt to send a bug report. As far as I know you should get +4 with 9 in TSS at light encumbrance with bladed plate (1 +2 fighter +1 TSS specialization)

Yeah, she has some weird upper limit at +3 AC from DEX. I even tried removing ALL her equipped gear (--> 0 lbs encumbrance) and buffing her DEX up to 20 with spells... she should then get +5 to AC from DEX but nope she still only gets +3. Resting in wilderness, resting in capital, (lesser or normal) Restoration, Heal, death + Resurrection, etc. didn't remove this condition; she gets only +3 AC no matter what.

Have try to compare the ac from the character sheet to the one in the combat log?

I can teach you how to modify your save file to add gold if you don't want to use mod like me.
