In IWD2, heavier armor restricts your movement and, while giving you a better armor class than studded leather, prevents you from taking full advantage of your dexterity. The half plate armor, IIRC, has a maximum dexterity bonus of 0, meaning that you can have absolutely no armor bonus from your dexterity. With 20 dexterity, you would be gaining whatever the armor gives, but losing the 5 armor class in return.
Your options would be to either use light or medium armors with this character, or to Dalekeep them into a slower buy with higher stats in other areas.
