[QUOTE="demon_jr, post: 509838, member: 3480"] I'm trying to come up with the AC for hitting a wand in my character's hand. Here is what I came up with: 10 - base AC +5 - character's dex bonus +2 - deflection bonus from ring of protection +5 - for being in my character's hand 22 - total I got these figures from the PHB about attempting to attack an item. So if my character was holding a wand and an opponent wanted to sunder or damage it, they would have to hit an AC of 22 right? The PHB states that you add "magical deflection bonuses" to the AC of the object. Does that mean the literal "deflection bonus" such as that from the ring of protection or does it include magical bonuses to AC as well? Would a shield spell add to the AC of attempting to strike an object carried by my character? I would assume so since it grants an cover AC bonus (I think. I'm not sure what type of AC bonus the revised shield spell gives.) I would think that the any beneft to AC you receive from cover also applies to any object you carry in your hands. [/QUOTE]
