05-05-05, 08:38 PM I am looking for a little armor help. Currently a 10th level bard who has more money then is good for him. Right now he has a Mithril shirt with move silent added to it. He has the ring of chameleon so no need for anything in the way of disquise.
So he is looking for something better then that. Needs to be light. I have been looking and have a few things in mind but was looking for more ideas from other possible bards out there.

Thanks for the help

^ Some light armors ranked by total AC, if you can max DEX that is. (AC/Max DEX/ACP)

You might wanna tell us what your DEX is, so we can limit our suggestions to stuff that is good enough.

05-05-05, 09:05 PM At this time he has a 20 Dex so +6. He has been working more on his charisma but dex would be an easy thing for him to improve here and there.

05-05-05, 09:31 PM Um, Dex 20 is a +5 bonus, not +6.

Or am I misinterpreting?

05-05-05, 10:04 PM Sorry yes +5 my fingers were faster then my brain.

05-05-05, 10:25 PM A Mithral Tumbler's BP would be slightly better. RoS, Exotic armour, +2 on Tumble checks.

Not all that much of an improvement over a Mithral Chain Shirt tho. With all the extra costs added in, you may already have what you want. Just dump money into enchanting it up.

Oh ya, if you didn't catch my sig - I am a newb. Don't trust me. :)
