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	+100
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.
