[QUOTE="VanRichten, post: 4236638, member: 63745"] Just and FYI I corrected my calculations. But to answer your question it does stay "AC of at least 22" and that "Your Intelligence modifier applies to the hand’s AC as if it were the hand’s Dexterity modifier." From that we can understand that the meaning of "at least" means that at minimum casting level it has that AC. Since we know the minimum intelligence it takes to cast the spell is a 12. Now we know that a intelligence of 12 gives a +1 bonus So if the minimum is 22 and 12 is the minimun intelligence it takes to cast it. Would that not meant that 1 point of that 22 AC is from intelligence? If this is true then our Spectral Hand has a base AC of 21 + X, X = Casters Intelligence Bonus. The thing we have to understand is the terminology. The term "at least" means that is can have higher than that. And it identifies this by stating that it increases based on the casters Intelligence.
