[QUOTE="Xael, post: 942597, member: 3579"] This is correct according to the DMG, except for the last part, which should be AC 19 (see below). I don't know how the hell did PCGen get deflection bonus on armor (it's possible though, but it's custom-made stuff), but that's just wrong. The program has just added the deflection bonus from for example. Ring of protection, but it shouldn't work that way. The price should be 2000gp more. And that deflection bonus would not stack with the ring. You could do armor like that, but it would cost more that +2 version of it (+2 enchantment is +4000gp), so it wouldn't make any sense. PCGen is wrong in this. +2 Mithral shirt would cost 5100gp. +1 Mithal shirt with +1 deflection bonus would cost 6100gp. The latter wouldn't count as +1 though, allowing the adding of another + by increasing the cost to 9100 instead of 11000gp of +3 mithral shirt. But this just isn't "right". No idea about that AC5. Mithral shirt +1 provides +5 armor bonus to AC according to DMG. And Mithral (chain) shirt costs 1100gp in the DMG, so +1 Mithral shirt should cost 2100gp. [/QUOTE]
