What is giving this modifier? The character has: +1 Half Plate for 8 AC +1 Heavy Wooden Shield for 3 AC -the armor negates his Dex bonus of plus 1 Thus his AC should be 21, not 22? Yet there is this mystery "deflection" bonus of +1 under the line for his Armor Class. He has the "Dodge" Feat, but I thought that was something that changed every fight and was not recorded under AC on one's character sheet. Any ideas?

Confusing. I'm also curious why there is a "deflection" box on the AC line at all?

Generally, it comes from magical effects. Rings of Protection are a common example as is the Protection from Evil spell. Edit: Sorry. I think I misread your post. Im sure you knew all that. Its probably just a typo.
