Talk:Maximum dexterity bonus

Warning: Erroneous Information posted from user at 75.92.119.87
Even if a character relies on weapon finesse for their AB it is NOT affected if the character wears heavy armor. Reflex saving throws are not affected either. Can the user at 75.92.119.87 please correct the misinformation.

Whether the character chooses to don a heavier suit of armor is up to the character. With uncanny dodge currently broken there would be situations where heavier armor than your dexterity modifier will allow for would be advantageous. Please remove the opinion from the article page and post in discussion page if you want a record of the opinion on the wiki. GT74 00:50, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Dexterity
I'm here because I keep getting messages in my email of changes to his article. Before I unwatch myself, Dexterity bonus is affected my the armor you wear unless you wearing certain armor like mithril fullplate armor, which allows for an additional Dexterity bonus of 3 instead of 1. So a rogue can't wear fullplate armor and still have a high dexterity bonus because he won't benefit from anything because he won't be able to use his full bonus towards his reflex saves and AB for melee/range.

Moreover, his dexterity based skills will be lower by the armor, but that's a different topic. -- ARHicks00

I am not disputing the dexterity bonus to AC - I am disputing everything else (reflex, AB, the right to wear heavier armor). Your post contains a lot of false information. I've just tested it in game to make myself double sure. I'm leaving this to the SysOps to take care of from here. GT74 01:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

So have I. I'm out. -- ARHicks00

Your AB does not decrease if you are wearing heavier armour. Just because the armour restricts your max dex bonus to AC does not decrease your AB. I have tested this and know 100% that this is the case. Reflex saving throws are not affected either.

"Failure to get new armor with less dexterity bonus restriction will result in no additional dexterity bonuses towards reflex saving throws and attack bonus for range attack as well weapon finesse."

I can't make this any clear than that and please post your signature when posting. --ARHicks00
