[QUOTE="Kelleris, post: 2608828, member: 19130"] Good review as always, but I think you made one slight mistake. You comment that King Kaius' AC is wrong because he has [i]bracers of natural armor[/i] and his vampiric increase to natural armor working at cross purposes. I believe those stack, actually, as of the 3.5 revision, since [i]doodads of natural armor +whatever[/i] actually grant you an [i]enhancement[/i] to your natural armor, like an enhancement bonus on armor. So Kaius starts with a natural armor bonus of +0 (I assume he's human) this is increased by 6 since he's a vampire, and then he gains a +3 enhancement to his natural armor bonus to AC from the [i]bracers[/i]. So his AC entry is correct. The other 5 errors are probably actually errors, though. Come to think of it, you mention a couple of times that people are missing some bonus languages. I'd have to see the original stats to know, but I suspect that those characters started with a lower Intelligence (and thus fewer bonus languages), and then raised their scores through level-based Int bumps. As these are not retroactive (at least, I don't think so), it's possible that some or all of the incorrect language totals are actually not incorrect. Sheesh, these things ain't easy. Makes me fear for my book when it gets published in a couple of months. [/QUOTE]
