[QUOTE="rangda, post: 5999113, member: 86125"] Ummm, how does any L30 have a 31 AC? 10 + 15 for 1/2 level + 6 enhancement +8 or so for stat is 39, I'd expect that to be the absolute minimum. FWIW the lows and highs for AC in my L30 party were: Barbarian AC 45 10 15 - 1/2 level 6 - enhancement 3 - barbarian agility 1 - armor spec. (hide) 2 - elven chain shirt (wonderous item) 5 - elderhide 3 - DEX Paladin/Ardent Hybrid AC 47* * AC 49 against adjacent enemies, forget what gave the +2 10 15 - 1/2 level 6 - enhancement 14 - godplate 2 - heavy shield The sorcerer was actually AC 46 Sorcerer AC 46 10 15 - 1/2 level 6 - enhancement 2 - starweave 2 - unarmored agility 2 - elven chain shirt (wonderous item) 9 - DEX (wild mage) As you can see, AC's end up becoming pretty compressed at the high end. There is actually much more of a difference in the level range of 15-23. The worst case would be a cloth/leather wearer who doesn't have DEX/INT as a secondary stat or doesn't have a special rule that lets a different stat add to AC (or some other way to boost AC), but I cannot think of such a class off the top of my head (although I'm sure there is one).
