[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5694655, member: 10784"] Agreed - in my last campaign (3.5E), we had one guy that was an elf and he took some special champion of corellon PrC, which allowed him to wear full plate and still get his full dex bonus once he reached a certain level. (I think it was full plate) Plus, he had the advanced expertise feat which allowed him to sacrifice up to his Base Attack Bonus to add to his AC as a Dodge Bonus. (So, -18 to hit, +18 to AC at the end of the campaign) Additionally, he had a defending sword, which also gave him a Dodge bonus to AC, and I think a Dodge bonus is the only bonus that could stack with another Dodge Bonus. So, AC:10, +13 for mithril full plate+4 (armor bonus); +5 for his large mithril shield+3 (armor); +6 for his DEX; +18 for his expertise (dodge); +4 for his defending sword (dodge); +4 for a Ring of Protection (deflection bonus) and/or Holy Aura; maybe a +1 dodge bonus from Haste; and we're up to an AC in the low 60s without any other buffing spells and/or minor items. Of course, if he's taking 18 off of his "to hit" rolls, he's not hitting too much, either, at higher levels. [/QUOTE]
