[QUOTE="Baron Opal, post: 4460777, member: 10433"] No armor for the paladin, hmm... First thoughts: [LIST] [*]What is his INT / DEX, because that kicks in for his AC now. [*]Is their a ritual from his order he can use to fortify his clothing as armor? [*]Does he have a good CHA / diplomacy skills? [*]Is his group willing to be diplomatic? [*]Is the mission condusive to diplomatic resolution? [*]Has the player done research as to where in the castle an armor stash might be? [*]Are there any societal mores / rank / custom that might protect the paladin? [*]Is he going in under disguise or is this a stealth op? [*]Can he get a light chain shirt to wear under his disguise? For what AC? [*]Can he bribe a guard to smuggle in some armor? [/LIST] His AC is going to be significantly less than normal, so he and the rest of the party are going to operate under a handicap. Right now I imagine that the defenders and leaders are going to be the most impaired. The wizard and warlock usually don't wear armor at all so they won't be affected. The math may be good, but bets are off when you change the equation... ;) [/QUOTE]
