[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5104236, member: 43019"] It may be worthwhile to get a little more detailed on the agility bonus' "primary/secondary' thing. Ie, melee rangers aren't primary, most fighters and barbarian's aren't secondary but it says 'any', so... Also, if you are a primary Int (wizard, say) who takes a 10 in that stat, still +2? Looking at NADs for a few of my characters for a sec: Dragonborn Inspiring Warlord 14 - +1 Fort & Will from Race, +2 Will from NAD... you mention a "class defence" bonus in 4/5, which isn't there, but I'm assuming the +1 Fort & Will from class still applies. So I'd go from F26,R20,W26 to F26,R24,W28 at 14th level with a +2 neck. AC would be 29, which matches my AC of 29. Good, good. If I were a tactical warlord, it looks like my AC would probably have dropped a point, unless Int counts as a primary (back to the better definition thing). My 11th human guardian fighter's A29, F27, R23, W23 with his +3 neck and scale & lg shield - his AC would become 28 (10 + 7 Scale + 6 (Chart) + 3 (Enh) + 2 (Sh)), and dropping one there doesn't necessarily seem warranted (guessing it's the masterwork bonus at play there), especially since he wouldn't regain the lost point until 14th. He'd get +2F, +1R, +1W from race, +2W from stat, +2F from class, and +2R from shield, for a total of F26, R25, W25. Wow, that'd be a lot more well rounded :) Anyhow, looks very interesting. Wish I could make it work in the CB. [/QUOTE]
