Ive got -20 and below in the past :D

I got a tip play a bard, speficaly an blade, or an swashbuck, and get use all item for both of them.

Bard: (use all item)
+4 elven chain i forget the AC
ring of gaxx +2
Ring of protection +3
Boot of phaseing +2
Cloak of the sewers +1

dex 19+ by the end of the game i had i think 20 dex
one from tome in bg, 1 or more from other item and stuff in tob *shungs* also lost some dex in hell also so that changed it to.

Blur multiple time +1 each time, if you don't have the patch that fix this bug.

then blade's defensive spin +10 ac

hehhhehehe

do the same with swashbucker, but forget the blade defensive spin and blur cause the swashbuck don't cast spells unleast its a dual, anyway the swashbuck get extra ac every so many level so that makes up a bit.

-23 without ToB

I can get better than that in tob for sure, dont want to play (just items, no spells)

andrewas 11-28-2001 07:17 PM

theres a secret armour that beats all these hands down. apparently. anyway, shadowkeeper lists it but the description neglects to mentions its stats. you need items from Bg1, Bg2 and TOB to make it tho, and its only available near the end. but elmonster (form baldurdash) got -21 ac from equiping it, not bad for a mage.

250 11-28-2001 07:29 PM

I dont do that shit. all items are legit from BGII, rolled character

Dundee Slaytern 11-28-2001 11:37 PM

Blade is the easiest to get low AC, but there is no point in having AC below -20, because the AC is capped at -20. You may have -25 AC, but it will still be taken as -20 AC still.

Theorotically, and ignoring the AC cap, a Blade can attain

Armour: Big Metal Unit( sets base AC to -10)
18 DEX: -4 AC( -14 AC)
Ring of Gaxx: -2 AC( -16 AC)
Ring of Earth Control: -1 AC( -17 AC)
Cloak of the Sewers: -1 AC( -18 AC)
Helm of Balduran: -1 AC( -19 AC) Thankee for Use Any Item.
Dak'kon's Zerth Blade: -1 AC( -20 AC) I will ignore Drizzt's weapons since you cannot keep them.
Sentinel Shield: -5 AC( -25 AC)

So that gives us a base of -25 AC. Now let us add spells into the factor.

Blur: -3 AC( -28 AC)
Defensive Spin: -10 AC( -38 AC)

If you do not want to include the Big Metal Unit, then replace it with Aslyferund Elven Chain +5( sets base AC to 0), you will end up with -28 AC.

But this requires ToB, without ToB, hmmmm... ...

let's try Swashbuckler,

Armour: Shadow Dragon Armour( sets base AC to 1, with the SB's bonus, makes this 0)
18 DEX: -4 AC( -4 AC)
Dusty Rose Ioun Stone: -1 AC( -5 AC)
Cloak of the Sewers: -1 AC( -6 AC)
Dak'kon's Zerth Blade: -1 AC( -7 AC)
Buckler +1: -2 AC( -9 AC)
Ring of Gaxx: -2 AC( -11 AC)
Ring if Earth Control: -1 AC( -12 AC)
Kit Bonuses: -4 AC( -16 AC) Assuming lvl 23 under the SoA Xp cap.

Eh... nope. Hmmmm... 250, I am curious, which kit and how did you attain -23 AC in SoA?

I thought I was hearing a lot of BS on this one. Why did you use the shadow and Ring of Earth control combo instead of the Red Dragon and Ring Prot +2? And where is this Zerth blade?

Lord Ludtke 11-29-2001 12:40 AM

Yeah, yeah I just remembered a SB would be a theif :D

If there is a sword that adjusts AC I could get down to AC -17, so the Zerth question still stands.

you should not go up against the maturest 250, dont even try

I am not going up against you, but I am curious on how you achieved it without spells.

Monk?

Dundee Slaytern 11-29-2001 01:02 AM

Dak'kon Zerth Blade is bought from a bonus merchant, the same one that sells the Robe of Vecna.

Let's try Paladin...

PS: Red Dragon Scale Armour + Ring of Protection +2 is a bug and has been corrected in ToB, so I will not use that.

Armour of the Hart: -2 AC
18 DEX: -6 AC
Helm of Balduran: -7 AC
Dak'kon's Zerth Blade: -8 AC
Sentinal Shield: -13 AC
Cloak of the Sewers: -14 AC
Ring of Earth Control: -15 AC
Ring of Gaxx: -17 AC

?!?! :confused: ?!?!
