I don't have time to break it down entirely (such as this is his AC while fighting defensively, while moving through a threatened area, etc.), so here is the situation where he gets this AC:Fighting a single opponent and moving through that opponent's threatened area, provoking an AoO while fighting defensively. I think that covers it. If you see anything wrong, let me know.Grey Elf Mnk2/Pal2/Clr3/Psion2/Mystic Wanderer 1/Duelist 10Base: 10Ectoplasmic Armor Power Stone: +10 armorShield of Prudence Power Stone: +6 insightSkin of the Hero: +3 luckRing of Protection +5: +5 deflectionMonk's Belt: +4 hasteDexterity 36*: +13 dexterityWisdom 32*: +11 wisdomIntelligence 34*: +12 intelligenceCharisma 32*: +11 sacredDodge: +1 dodgePsionic Dodge: +1 dodgeEnhanced Mobility: +8 dodgeHoly Star scroll/potion: +10 coverElaborate Parry: +10 dodgeFighting Def w/ 5 in Tumble: +3 dodgeTwo +5 Defender Weapons: +10 unnamedAmulet of Natural Armor +5: +5 natural armorOff-Hand Parry: +2 dodgeTwin Sword Style: +2 armor (stacks)Expertise: +5 dodgeTotal: 142----* Stats break down as follows:Dexterity: 18 (base) + 2 (racial) + 5 (levels) +5 (inherent) + 6 (gloves) = 36.Intelligence: 18 (base) + 2 (racial) +5 (inherent) +6 (headband) + 3 (age) = 34.Wisdom: 18 (base) + 5 (inherent) + 6 (periapt) + 3 (age) = 32.Charisma: 18 (base) + 5 (inherent) + 6 (cloak) + 3 (age) = 32.In order to get the mental aging bonuses without losing physical stats, use a Rod of Security to spend 99% of your time in the demiplane so you don't physically age. This is open to interpretation, however, so if you don't buy it his AC will be 3 less (ONLY 139...).----Note 1: If you polymorph into a Green Hag you get a natural armor bonus of +11, but your Dex drops to 12 + items/spells, which makes it imprudent if my calculations are correct. So no polymorphing for this guy... Also, reduce'ing doesn't work because it specifically doesn't change your AC.----Note 2:Also, as a note, I don't think that the Bladesong style and the Duelist Int bonus stacks. There are very, very few instances where a stat modifier stacks with itself (I think there's only one, but I can't remember what it is). If it does stack, well, swap out a level of something for a level of Bladesinger for another +12... I mention this because it was brought up last time.-------------------------------------------------William R. MuenchAuthor’s Note: Actually, if you check page #3 of my post, there's an updated version with an AC of 160...<Editor’s Note: With the now available Superior Expertise from Oriental Adventures, even greater armor class is possible.></blockquote>
