Y'know, those evil four-armed extradimensional beings.
That's my guess, at any rate.

maybe it will include BAB?Chris_Nightwing said:This oddly implies to me that AC won't include your Dexterity bonus. Of course, it will probably actually be that you get a +5 to attack a surprised character, or similar. I guess this clears up the classic problem of surprising aturtle, er, I mean Cleric, and finding the AC is the same.

Guild Goodknife said:I wonder if your AC advances with your levels, i mean would be kind of strange if your touch AC (your Reflex Defense) advanced with your levels while your normal AC stayed the same.
There's still the issue of fireballing a bunch of mooks and having them all succeed or fail based on one roll ... unless you roll an attack against each mook (or they all have different defensive scores).
So I'm pretty sure AC levels.

I elect to bother, because you appear to be complaining about a 3e issue.Irda Ranger said:Feels the opposite.
I've hated the AC system for some time now, and was really hoping the Iron Heroization of D&D would extend to this as well. It just MAKES NO SENSE, conceptually.
Let me get this straight: you get better at defending yourself from attacks that "just have to touch you", but not attacks that "have to touch you, and happen to be pointy." wtf? When does a crossbow bolt NOT have to touch you to do damage? Why I can't dodge that the way I would dodge a ray spell?
Also, if both guys are in loincloths, how does it make sense that a 12th level fighter is just as easy to hit as a 1st level fighter? The 12th level guy should be able to parry that 1st level fighter's blows like the tantrums of a child.

I'm sure people in this thread will try to rationalize the above somehow, but don't bother. I've heard it all before. Sorry for the rant.
