Questions on DC

[koral]

From the HG wiki:

The DC of Called Shot is now Ranger class level plus half the Ranger's Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom (if using Zen Archery) modifier



So on a dex based character, the dex modifier is limited by armor. In my case my dex is 69 capped at 20 for max dex bonus and my Called Shot DC is 59

Why does the DC of called shot not go up when the armor is removed and the dexterity modifier is now 29 and not 20. If I am reading correctly the additional 9 to dex modifier should increase the DC of called shot by 2 9 additional dex should net an additional 2 DC 9 /2 . What am I missing?



Cleric:



Mass Resurrection
- "At Cleric 30 or Paladin 25 and total character level 40, characters can acquire the ability to cast a mass resurrection spell once per day"

Is this referring to Miracle from the Academy or something else and if so, where can one acquire it.

Thanks!

Mass resurrection is obtained somewhere else, have a look in the wiki at class secrets if you don't want to spend a load of time fishing.

Max dexterity is capped only for purpose of AC calculation. Your full dexterity bonus (as if you weren't wearing any armor) applies to everything else, i.e. AB with ranged / finesse weapons, dexterity based skills (such as Hide, Parry etc.; if you were wearing heavier armors, you would get armor check penalties to those, but that's usually not the case with rangers), reflex, and incidentally Called Shot DC. Feel free to try it yourself: your DC won't change even if you put on medium armor.

If you want higher DC, you might want to go with Zen Archery instead. Wisdom will give you additional DC equal to (wid mod / 6), and ranger bows (from Uroboros, Hive, Pit of Moliation, and the master bow in Rona) scale in damage with your wisdom as well.

Sadly, the wiki is often outdated and/or incorrect, you can check the forum documentations for more accurate info.
