My kensai has an AC of 2 currently. Here's how he did it:
DEX 18 CON 18 STR 18/77 Cloak of Protection +1 Ring of Earth Elemental (grants +1 AC bonus) Shield amulet (not applicable, unless activated, I suppose) A pale green stone that is placed in the helm slot (+1 AC bonus) Proficient in 2-weapon style, and single weapon style. How can I lower his AC further? Compared to Minsc (AC -3) and Jaheira (AC -6!!) my kensai's AC is not really that great. As he's my tank, I'd like to see his AC at least 0, if not lower. Is this possible? ------------------ "Butt-kicking for goodness!" - Minsc "Cities always teem with evil and decay. Let's give it a good shake and SEE WHAT FALLS OUT!!" - Minsc |

Is this purchased from a merchant (if so, where), or a quest item, or a 'spoil of war'?
Thx. |

Use the shield amulet all the time; with Kensai AC bonus, Dex bonus, and other magic items, you can get a Kensai down to -6. You'll find a couple more items that will lower your AC a few points.
Oh, you can sell the amulet and buy it again, and it will be recharged too; don't worry about using up charges. Deathspawn: Kensai can't wear armor. ------------------ "This place will be your tomb." |

Ok - thanks. Look's like I'll have to keep an eye out for such miscellaneous stuff.

Yes your Kensai will have higher AC compared to others, because he is a offensive fighter not a defensive one.
In regular fighting, your kensai shouldn't have a huge problem with his AC, if you have mages or such with you a simple barkskin or other spells help him. A Kensai Isn't a tank, he is a swordsman. A fighter in full magical platemail and shield with -10 AC is a tank, a Kensai with 0 AC isn't a tank. Something that will work wonders for your Kensai. Potions of defense and invulnerability. They set his AC to 0, so yours will drop to about -8 or so when you use one, perfect for a large combat. You won't have alot of problems with a Kensai |

I found that my kensia was killing so fast that there was no need to have AC and most the time i was using haste and improved invisibilty so that also really helps a ton

Ring of Gaxx, Ring of Protection +2 and Cloak of Protection +2 should push you down. But getting to -2 or thereabouts is a pretty mean feat for a pure kensai.

This is cheating in a way:
The robe of Apprenti can be worn by ALL!!!!! It gives base AC3. -4Dex, -1Gaxx, -1Ring+2, -1Cloak+2, _1Stone gives -6 |

I also found that one of the Katana's lowers your AC by one I think? Dak'kon's Zerth Blade, is the one, however it's only available in the collectors edition(or one of the downloads).
