Bug in mithral armor creation

clavin123 · February 6th, 2010, 06:13 PM

When one creates custom magical armor and change the material to Mithral, the correct Max Dex bonus displays, but the system does not add a dex bonus above the base bonus for the armor type involved.

Specifically, I just created mithral full plate, which should allow a dex bonus of +3 (and correctly displays that fact), but the AC for the character is being calculated using only a bonus of +1 (full plate's normal max bonus).

Thanks.

Could you give me more information about your character and what you're seeing? When I duplicated the steps you gave me, my character's AC reflects the +3 Max Dex.

A possibility I can think of is that your character is heavily encumbered due to weight - that imposes its own Max Dex: +1, independant of the armor.
