I discovered today that dexterity had no effect on armor class for monks, wolves, lich, druids with barkskin, and vampires at night. I couldn't tell if this was an accident or intentional, but I've decided to change it.

Because you guys probably already knew this, there's a good chance people have made monks and knowingly picked bad dexterity. Additionally, I picture monks as martial-artists, so I've also decided that they will not be penalized for having bad dexterity. This only applies to monks.

So will any monks get a reroll? Id like to get one with really low AC

When will you make it not hurt AC? My monk still has worse AC than he used to

Thanks Dom

Chuckle, I fixed but didnt post because I had to run quick this morning. I'm thinking I won't let monks restat because they aren't being penalized, since low dex won't hurt them. It's just giving an option of another monk build, one with lower AC.

Fine by me... I just wanted to avoid penalties

So higher dex does nothing to AC for a werewolf?

High dex used to do nothing - now it does.

dex·ter·i·ty
Skill and grace in physical movement, especially in the use of the hands; adroitness.

Why in the world would a werewolf need dexterity? Even their attack string is "Maim" "Shred" etc. It seems as though dexterity should not be one of their prime reqs, but rather a heedless abandon towards ripping things apart.


I appreciate the goal to improve weaponless classes AC, but I think dexterity is more like a graceful monk, and constitution is a werewolf; ie. thicker hide.

Werewolves jump and claw and maul. Aren't wolves quite agile and quick?
