AC bugs

[Green]

Does anyone else have bugs where the game doesn't give you your proper AC bonus? I have it with my dexterity modifer, instead of giving me +10 to AC for dexterity like it should, it only gives +3...

What armour are you wearing? Because armour caps how much your Dex mod contributes to your AC.

I'm not wearing any armour.

I have a -1 because of a shield....I use a bow. Been that way since I started the game. I just figured the game thought I was too good and needed a handicap.... Really didn't have to do that though. Games quicker my butt plenty.

Yeah it's probably trying to nerf my 50AC lol.

Odd. So your Dexterity score is 30 (making the Dex mod +10) and wearing no armour.

Do you have any abilities or other equipment contributing to your AC?

What's your character's encumbrance?

[Green]

Lvl - 8
Encumberance - Light
+ 1 (Dodge)
+ 1 (Canny Defence)
+ 3 (Amulet of Natural Armour)
+ 2 (Mutagen - Dexterity)
+ 4 (Shield Spell)
+ 5 (Bracers of Armour)
+ 2 (Ring of Protection)
+ 5 (Charisma)
+ 3 (Dexterity - Should be +10)
+ 1 (Size)
+ 3 (Fighting Defensively
+ Something (Combat Expertese)

Dexterity Bonuses
+ 2 (Human
+ 2 (Reduce Person)
+ 4 (Belt of Physical Form)
+ 4 (Mutagen)

Using the Shield Spell, Reduce Person Spell and Dexterity Mutagen

It's giving you at least +6 -- it's just splitting it up. You get +2 (Mutagen - Dexterity), + 1 (Size), and +3 (Dexterity)

It's possible that belt of physical form doesn't stack with mutagen, I'm not sure whether those DEX buffs stack or not. I know belt of physical form doesn't stack with cat's grace

Are you sure the strength penalty from reduce person didn't push you to medium encumbrance? You have a max AC bonus of +3 at medium encumbrance.

Mutagen gives you a Natural Armor value (base not Enhancement, so stacks with amulet) which is separate from the dex modifier increase. It's also an Alchemical Bonus, not an Enhancement Bonus, and does in fact stack with Enhancement.

When you get attacked, and hover over the attack miss/hit message, do you see your full proper value? It could just be the C screen is borked. Could also be a previously undiscovered bug due to getting another stat to AC.

This is also quite possible, since your gear weight doesn't drop when it adjusts to smaller sizes.

The + 2 Mutagen is the natural armour bonus you get from every one of the mutagens, the + 1 size is an added bonus to the Dexterity bonus from reduce person, and the dexterity bonuses do stack because it says I have 30 dexterity (+ 10) yet its not counting it in the AC bonus.

[solthusx]

Might want to check what type of bonus the mutagen provides. Enhancement bonuses to stats don't stack. Only the strongest one is applies.

Edit: nvm, looks like that wasn't the issue

[Green]

The Mutagen gives + 4 to dexterity and + 2 to Natural armour, and Natural armour I believe stacks. And I checked my encumberance when I had 5 strength, I have another character who comes along with me who has 28 strength, and the top hat that increases the parties carrying capacity by 200 so my strength change doesn't have much of an affect on the total amount that can be carried.

Characters have an individual encumbrance rating based on their worn gear, in addition to the party encumbrance from the general inventory. In the inventory screen, it's locted below the character's image.

Nevermind, it DOES stack
