[QUOTE="Snoweel, post: 961384, member: 4453"] There was some d00d who helped me out with this a few months ago (don't remember his User Name) but he had some good ideas. Basically, those who begin with Heavy Armour Proficiency get Poor defence bonus progression. Those who begin with Medium Armour Proficiency get Average defence bonus progression. Those who begin with Light Armour Proficiency get Good defence bonus progression. Those who begin with no armour proficiency get Poor defence bonus progression. An exception is monks, who get Good defence bonus progression. Fighters are a special case (Rangers and Barbarians too, I guess) - they may choose the level of Armour Proficiency they begin with and the accompanying defence bonus progression. Spending feats on Armour Proficiency doesn't reduce defence bonus progression. And your combined defensive bonus + dexterity bonus is restricted to the maximum dexterity bonus allowed by armour. Naturally, this means that characters of a high enough level are actually better off without armour. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
