Maximum dexterity bonus
From NWNWiki
The maximum dexterity bonus is a cap on the bonus to AC from a character's dexterity modifier. This cap is based on the armor that is being worn.
| Type of armor | Base AC | Maximum dexterity bonus |
| None, Clothing | 0 | Unlimited |
| Padded armor | 1 | +8 |
| Leather armor | 2 | +6 |
| Studded leather armor, Hide armor | 3 | +4 |
| Chain shirt, Scale mail | 4 | +4 |
| Chainmail, Breastplate | 5 | +2 |
| Splint mail, Banded mail | 6 | +1 |
| Half plate | 7 | +1 |
| Full plate | 8 | +1 |
[edit] Notes
- The cap only applies to AC; it does not affect the attack bonus for ranged weapons, the attack bonus from weapon finesse, reflex saves, nor dexterity-based skills.
- Most dexterity-based skills are subject to the armor check penalty rather than the maximum dexterity bonus.
