[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6815304, member: 57383"] I'm fine aiming for AC 20. I was just a [I]little[/I] concerned about the combination with the 50% miss chance from its Shadow Displacement. That'd give it an Armour Class in the same ballpark as the Reaper (AC 21), Veiled Maidens (AC 18) and General (AC 20), so it does seem appropriate. So I was thinking we can give it a magical item or two to make up any difference with the AC. We [I]could[/I] give it some natural armour as well or instead, but NA doesn't seem quite right for a "shadowy" creature. As I tried to explain earlier, the addition of Martial Artistry to its SQ means the "and gains an insight bonus to AC equal to its Wisdom bonus" in Martial Training results in it getting double its Wisdom bonus to AC, as it also gets it from the Artistry's monk-level AC bonus ability. That's why I suggested we should cut that line from Martial Training. However, I've just had a better idea. How about we change that Martial Training line to "and gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to its Intelligence bonus"? Putting it together, how about this: [B]Armor Class:[/B] 20 (+3 Dex, +2 Wis, +1 intrinsic, [I]bracers of armor +2[/I], + 2 dodge), touch 18, flat-footed 15 [B]Abilities:[/B] Str 16, Dex 17, Con —, Int 15, Wis [COLOR=#00FFFF]14[/COLOR], Cha 14 [B]Martial Training (Ex):[/B] [COLOR=#FF0000]change to[/COLOR] "and gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to its Intelligence bonus". [B]Possessions:[/B] [I]shadowless blade[/I], [I]+2 bracers of armor[/I]. [/QUOTE]
