Hi there,
I was unable to find a "search engine" on this forum... pretty strange.. anyway here is my question. :)
Is a "naked" character with a DEX of 8 has a better armor flat-footed than non flat-footed ?
the SRD says: Flat-Footed: A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, not yet reacting normally to the situation. A flat-footed character loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) and cannot make attacks of opportunity.

thus, my numb caracter has a normal AC of 9 and a flat footed AC of 10 ?

thanx in advance for your advice
and sorry itf the question has been asked many times before...

No, D&D does not call negative bonusses bonusses but penalties.

Therefor you only loose your dexterity bonus if it's positive.
