[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 118556, member: 170"] Only 20 of the 142 points of AC are from Psionics. Remove the Ectoplasmic Armor Power Stone, Shield of Prudence Power Stone, Skin of the Hero, and Psionic Dodge, and you are left with a totally non-psionic character with 122 AC (which is what I stated in my previous post). And, as I also mentioned in my previous post, the rest of the AC points [B]are[/B] from from official WotC sources. Nothing from Dragon is used, either. Only Core books, class books, and 1 feat and prestige class from FR. No other sources were used. What specific things do you think come from non-WotC sources? I'd be happy to point out where the appear. [Edit] And the AC Smackdown would make a perfectly viable melee fighter. They have an incredibly high AC, a good attack bonus, and decent hit points, not to mention the ability to heal and buff themselves. Plus, the 10 Duelist levels give them a great damage bonus (+3d6 with each hit), and the 2 Paladin levels gives them the ability to Smite Evil for +11 to damage 1/day. If you don't like the bonuses from aging, the author of the smackdown takes that into account. He has a section in which he explains that if you leave that part out, the AC would only drop by 3 points. That would leave him with an AC of 142 - 20 (psionics) - 3 (aging) = 119. Still incredibly high. Give him Boots of Speed for an additional +4 Haste bonus to AC, which brings our grand total to AC 123. For an even more disturbing character, give him a Ring of Improved Invisibility or Blink. 50% miss chance coupled with an AC of 123 would be pure insanity. [/Edit] [/QUOTE]
