DMG AWOL - Regdar's AC at level 20

[Hastur T. Fannon]

I'm editing a PrC that I think has an ability that's a little over powered and my DMG is AWOL

Can someone tell me Regdar's AC at level 20 so I have something to compare it to?

Assuming you mean the generic 20th lvl Fighter entry from the DMG, it's 34.

Low.

[Ergeheilalt]

Low.

And well it should be. The Generic Class Tables are built using the NPC Wealth calculations and will be significantly lower than what a PC is capable of attaining. At best, it should indicate whether or not a PC sucks in comparison.

[Kwalish Kid]

My PC sucks, by the way.

So a special ability that gives a lv 20 PC an absolute minimum AC of 30 while in the bollocky-buff is a little much - even if they can't use armor?

all depends if it stacks with other stuff or not!

And duration, activation type, how many times a day, etc. A lot more context is needed to judge it.

Honestly, if it sets your AC to 30 and doesn't stack with anything, it kinda sucks at level 20. The only use I could see for it is that if a PC is willing to make do with only AC 30 (which is suicide for anything that is going to get attacked regularly at level 20), then they can save a lot in equipment costs and invest that gold in something else.

If it's 4E, you don't need a prestige class or special ability. (I'm guessing.)

A good 3E question is this: does the character have a better AC than a monk (or duelist) of the same level? Does the PC have more special abilities than a monk (or duelist) of the same level?

If they are unconscious, asleep, etc... do they still have AC 30? Are they trying to impact coup de grace, etc...?

[Hastur T. Fannon]

It's ok, I pointed this out the the writer and he squeaked and revised it. It's now a lot more reasonable

Sorry guys, but I don't have the time or the permission to print the whole PrC, but it's coming out in "Mystic Strife", Tim Willard (and related loonies) big book of stuff

I've had a great time editing it: e.g. a serious discussion about what a spell called "virgintell" would do when cast on an aboleth
