Armor Skin - FIXED
« on: March 12, 2009, 06:44:44 pm »
Description: Armor Skin Feat says  
The character gains a +2 natural armor bonus to AC  
This AC is considered Natural armor bonus.
This AC is also stackable with Bone Skin and Draconic Armor but does not count to the +20 AC limit from natural sources.

1st issue - On the AC page only dodge and other are listed as stacking (dodge having the upper limit of +20)

2nd issue - On the AC page Armor Skin is listed as other not natural.

My understanding is these don't actually contradict - for some purposes (such as touch attacks) it counts as natural, but for stacking, it doesn't fit into one of the normal categories.

The natural AC you get from Armor skin counts as an ability rather than a magical bonus. The +20 max's only correspond to magical bonuses from items, such as clothing, helmets, and creature skins.

Perhaps what needs to be clarified is that the AC stacking rules only apply to magical enhancement.

I always used my own label for things like Armor Skin and Bone Skin:

Inherent AC

Kinda simplifies it.  It's outside the scales, outside the 5 AC input rules.

Good way to name it. As it is, it's labeled natural in the sense that it's inherent (added to your base AC of 10 and it stays there), so it'd be a good way to rename it.

    So whats the difference between DR and Inherent AC! DR is Dime bar and AC is an armadillo?

    Added a note to the AC page regarding the source of AC bonuses and how that applies to stacking. Moved to Fixed Bugs.
