Armor Class Bug

KEGman321 · December 2012

CURRENT BEHAVIOR: having better armor (e.g. Plate mail, splint mail) makes my armor class worse than when I have chainmail equipped.

EXPECTED : corrected armor class computation.
Screenshots are in a lower post.

Edited for proper formatting.

It may help if you post screenshots.

It wouldn't be because of really high Dexterity modifiers, would it? Screenshots would help

Oh yeah. It looks like it's calculating the absolute value of what the score should be.

Thank you for noticing that, I didn't even think about it when seeing it. So it is something that should be fixed?

@KEGman321
Yup, it certainly seems like a bug. I'm not exactly sure where you should post it so for now I'll summon @Tanthalas. Hopefully he'll be able to move this thread into the bugs section or whatever he thinks is best. In the mean time, maybe edit your original post a little bit more, such as divide the "current behaviour" and "expected behaviour" into seperate paragraphs with an appropriate heading for each for enhanced clarity and maybe add something about the specific nature of the bug, i.e. that the AC value appears to be missing the negative sign.

Thank you. I just checked this again to see the posts. Should I still edit mine a little bit?

Ignore this. I guess I'm still tired
