(Note, my son is 15 months old. You can tell him not to lunge. But that only applies to when I said it, not now when there's some new shiny thing to lunge at.)Um. Nice rant. But you forget that column is Maximum Dexterity Bonus TO AC. You should be complaining more about the Armor Check Penalty which affects Tumble and Ride (to mount a horse only) and other Dex checks. It makes sense to me that fancy hip swivels and such might be reduced by heavy armor to the point that you would not dodge do good in it. But dancing knights should not be penalized so greatly by the Armor Check Penalty.</blockquote>
