I suspect this is one of those trick posts, that leaves out the presence of defense-affecting items, courtesy of Shadowkeeper, or attribute-boosting books from BG1, etc.

Now, for your next lesson, explain to us why you feel it necessary to bragg, here, about something so insignificant as one's accomplishments in a game.

Huh? How the heck does a Cavalier get 23 DEX?
Roll an 18, +1 from the Tome in BG1, +1 from the Machine of Lum the Mad, -1 in Hell, +1 from Yaga-Shura's armor, +1 from one of the Ioun Stones (forget which). That makes 21, and leaves you without a helmet. What am I leaving out?

Bah... use Draw Upon Holy Might and get 25 DEX... booyah... ...

-17 is the best sustainable AC you can get in SoA. Sustainable meaning forever, not buffed with spells, or using armour that turns to dust in the next chapter.

As for AC against missile weapons, I would suspect a suped up monk would take the crown, but I have no idea what that would be.

I cant remember the exact name of the shield you get in trademeet, with all of the great abilities, but i believe it is something like the Shield of Universal Harmony

I've worked this one out before, here goes:

level 40 monk has base AC of -11 including bonus for DEX.
Ring of Gaxx = +2 (-13)
Ring of earth control = +1 (-14)
Dak'kon's Zerth Blade = +1 (-15)
Lavender loun stone = +1 (-16)

Therefore Standard AC excluding AC modifiers is -16 - this is not the best AC for a monk, I have selected items that will give the best missile AC.....

And add missile adjustment/equipment:

Missile AC adjustment = -1 every 3 levels = -13 @ level 40 (-29)
Shield Amulet = +2 VS missiles (-31)
Cloak of Displacement = +4 VS missiles (-35)
Girdle of Piercing = +3 VS missile (-38)
Boots of Avoidance = +5 VS missile (-43)
Firecam armour Adjustment = +3 VS missile (-46)

Gives AC -46!!

Of course, you can then add defensive harmony, bard songs etc but this is sustained.

...Which only goes to prove what we've been saying all along: that the guy who started this thread was making it up as he went along; and bragging about a ridiculous non-accomplishment, even if he had been right.

23 Is my base Dex not including dex raising items
Before BG2 came out I played through BG1 a heck of a lot of times collecting all the Tomes multiple times trying to create the hardest character I could(Mainly for multi player duals). Thats just the Sad sort of person I am.
