[QUOTE="Cl1mh4224rd, post: 70162, member: 999"] oh my ****ing god... there's three pages of discussion on this topic? how many people on this thread actually graduated from high school? you apply your dex [b]modifier[/b] (positive or negative) to your ac... being flatfooted [b]only [size=3]removes[/size] your dex [size=4]bonus[/size][/b]. bonus = positive penalty = negative positive != negative what's so difficult about differentiating "modifier" and "bonus". in some cases your modifier may in fact be a bonus, but that does [b]not[/b] make the two words equivalent in all circumstances! the rules are in no way unclear or contradictory when it comes to this part. :mad: now, the line quoted from page 8 is a bit weird, but i'm sure most people will agree that being 'helpless' is the only real time a character can't "react to an attack." like [COLOR=orangered]deadguy[/COLOR] said, being flatfooted doesn't mean you [i]can't[/i] react to the attack. it just means you're not up to speed with everything that just happened.
