Non-PMs are getting AC up to about 60 or so at 40, depending on build, feats, etc.

Taunt works at melee range only, and leaves you flatfooted for that round (negating your dodge AC bonus).

Christ thats high Still hittable tho. Will have to look at my old cot, think she has like mid forties base AC - but hits late 50's with Divine Shield going.

Any idea on how the seperate AC's stack and what their cap is? Tumble is dodge right? Is Divine Shield dodge?

There's what, Armor, Deflection, Natural, Dodge and Shield?

Can see how DD's do okay with the damage reduction.

I'm sure he was talking about characters in general.

But since you admit you use monk, that means you can have at most 35 Druid levels, which means you can be dispelled, which means you do not necessarily have a solid 74 AC.

[watchwood]

True enough, but I've taken steps to cover that eventuality.

I was under the impression that 26 caster levels made you pretty much undispellable except for Mords. Is this incorrect?

That is incorrect, and often the reason I was called a "cheater" and a "DM" and such.

Greater Dispell uses a 20 level cap max, contrary to the description. That alone makes the safe-zone of 31 caster levels. Focusing in Abjuration raises your dispell check by +2.

[Amoenotep]

yeah, if you actually focus in dispelling you can dispell some high lvl chars pretty easy. especially if they cheese out or multi class.

@ TBD: Is the +20 cap specific to NS because the usual one is +15 as mentioned in NWN Wiki. Our Wiki has it at 20?

Greater Dispel = 1d20 + 15 for maximum of 35 vs 11 + 25 caster level for 36. 35 < 36, so cannot be dispelled.

Though using your example:

Greater Dispel = 1d20 + 20 for maximum of 41 vs 11 + 31 caster level for 42. 41 < 42, so cannot be dispelled.

[watchwood]

If that's the case, then my next caster may just focus in Abjuration.

To my knowledge, it is specific to NS.

Greater Dispel = 1d20 + 15 for maximum of 35 vs 11 + 25 caster level for 36. 35 < 36, so cannot be dispelled.

Read above. This has been said to not be the case. It is not a theory that Greater Dispell uses +20 here... it is fact.
