Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 6813066" data-attributes="member: 58172">Strength seems relevant to Armor Class. For example, blocking a sword attack with ones arm, is like a Strength check that requires bodily athletic coordination. To avoid a sword attack requires almost the exact same kind hand-eye reflexes as the Strength roll to aim a sword attack. To be honest, Dexterity seems less relevant since Armor Class relies less on careful minute motions. Even so, small effective movements do help.Athletic warriors seem able to handle themselves well in combat, even without armor.Initiative depends on how you understand it. Is it a reaction to a sudden unforeseen threat − in which case Reflex (Str-Dex) seems relevant.Or, is Initiative the ability to anticipate what will happen and plan accordingly − in which case Will/Perception (Int-Wis) seems relevant.</blockquote>
