Divine Shield

[webber]

Hi, I don't know if this would be possible to do but I think Divine Shield should add unconditional +AC based on Charisma bonus, instead of dodge AC. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing what's supposed to be +15 ac turn into +5. You may think this may be too overpowered, but a dwarven defender can relatively easily get a +12 permanent AC bonus at level 41, and the max charisma bonus can't be any higher than 18 or so.

I do enjoy divine might though.

Unconditional ac? Dodge is the only ac that stacks.

What the OP means is that the AC gained from Divine Shield shouldn't be dodge as it is capped at a total bonus of 20, but it should its own type of AC, similar to tumble, expertise, bone skin etc. AC sources.

There's no way to do that within the system. AC dodge is by far the best type of item ac there is.

Yeah, I had this idea for a change a while back:

quoting myself

If possible, maybe the Divine Shield should provide a few AC points in "other" category that stacks nomatter what. (maybe +1 every 5th cleric level to a max +10)
As for now, the dodge bonus wont help at all when you allready have +20 dodge from items+haste, and clerics are sorely lacking in AC.
The damage shield is fine, but a boost to AC as well would be welcome

Is it possible to assign AC bonuses in this "other" category ?, as described here:

Nope.
