Title: Armor Skin - FIXED
Post by: jrizz 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.

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

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.

Post by: miltonyorkcastle on June 15, 2009, 03:22:00 PM: Added a note to the AC page regarding the source of AC bonuses and how that applies to stacking. Moved to Fixed Bugs.
