vow of poverty
vow of Peace

+4 AC for Wisdom
+1 for Monk AC bonus



Vow of Poverty

Exalted AC +6
Deflection +1

Vow Of Peace

Natural +2
Deflection +2
Exalted +2


Then vow of peace states "If you have vow of poverty the natural armor, deflection and exalted AC bonus granted by that feat increase by +2"

So

Modified Vow of Poverty

AC +8
Deflection +3

So is this correct for total bonuses?


+4 Wisdom
+1 Monk level 7
+8 Exalted AC from vow of poverty ( 6 + 2 modified by peace)
+3 Deflection (1 + 2 modified by peace)
+2 Natural


Total bonus of +18? for a final AC of +28?

I've got a player trying to say that his AC should be higher stating that the vow of Poverty table lists at bonuses like


+4
then later it gives
+1
then later
+1

so hes asking that the +2 from vow of peace hits each seperately

I say

6+2 =8

he says
(4+2)+(1+2)+(1+2) = 12

Umm, no. The bonus from Vow of Poverty increases, from +4 to +5 to +6. Vow of Peace gives a single +2 increase to that bonus. So it goes from +6 to +7 to +8.

The only reason Vow of Peace has that line in the first place is because the bonuses from Vow of Poverty and Vow of Peace would otherwise not stack at all (so he'd only have had +6).
