Oh, and Dundee. It is possible to get that extra point of dexterity [img]smile.gif[/img] Armour class would remain the same though...

Might be worth doing if you are a thief and want the extra 5% to all your theif skills...

You might also be able to sneak an Amulet of Protection+1 in there, depending on whether or not it conflicts with the Big Metal Unit. There's certainly no problem with the rest of the equipment you mentioned, Dundee.

For what it's worth, I've designed a Holy Buckler of Mask (only usable by Thieves), which I think is a Buckler+3 that grants (among other things) a +3 bonus to DEX.

Stiletto of Demarchess does not grant an AC bonus.

Boots of Phasing is not a BG2 item.

Girdle of Glory is a mod item.

I know there is an Ioun Stone that grants +1 DEX, but I think the Helm of Balduran beats it flat.

Sword and Shield Style grants an AC bonus versus missiles, not to your base AC.

If the BMU is not considered magical, I would rather replace the Ring of Earth Control with the Ring of Protection +3, then wear an Amulet of Protection +1.

Effective AC is capped, but do not forget about penalties. ;) Whether it be by Slow or whatsuch. Hence my comments of, "~~ and good luck trying to 'penalise' it. ~~".

Disclaimer:

Be forewarned though. Even with -25 AC, you will find that it is still useless against the Bosses, as they generally have -20 THACO or better.

-20 - (-25) = 5( number to match or beat on 1d20) :eek:

It will rock against the usual fare of bad guys, but switch to a different setup when dealing with Bosses.

my regular AC is now -18 , and i'm nearing lvl 40 ! hehe.. it's not fun anymore when you are a god... kangaxx was not that hard as well... just slayer change, and that's it!.. [img]smile.gif[/img]
