Editing armor

[djymy]

I'm trying to edit a new material for armor : chitin.
But I don't know how I can indicate the +1 increasing of max Dex bonus
to AC.
Who could help me ?

You should be able to do this using the Editor, select the Equipment tab then the Material Tab under the Equipment tab.

Create a New (Blank) of a material.

Since this is material is for armor, uncheck the "Apply to Weapons" checkbox.
Since Shields do not offer a Max Dex value, uncheck the "Apply to Shields" checkbox.

Is Chitin's intended to supplant metal, leather, cloth, none, or some of the indicated?

Is a Chitin armor automatically a Masterwork item? If yes, select the "Force Masterwork" checkbox.

Finally, open the Eval Scripts and add a new script in the Pre-Levels phase with a Priority of 100 and a index of 1.


~ We are a full suit of armor, since all pieces must be of the same
~ material to grant the bonus.

~ We have to wait until now to reduce penalties because our armor check
~ penalty won't have been set until now.

container.parent.field[arArcFail].value -= 10
container.parent.field[arMaxDex].value += 2

~ Only modify the armor check penalty by 2, because we force masterwork,
~ and that's adding another +1
container.parent.field[arArmorChk].value += 2

If you decide that Chitin armor is not automatically Masterwork then uncheck the "Force Masterwork" checkbox and lower the value to "+= 1" for both arMaxDex and arArmorChk values.

Hopefully this helps and is correct.

That script modifies Arcane Faliure, Max Dex and Armor Check Penalty. The way I read the OP he was only looking to increase Max Dex.

If that is true just need this part of the script you provided.
Pre-Level/100

~Increase Max Dex by 1
container.parent.field[arMaxDex].value += 1

I applied the last eval, and it works "à la perfection" !
Thanks a lot !
