05-01-05, 03:58 AM -Hello all. I have a question that spans a few topics, figured i would stick it here and make sure i've got this down.

The situation is fairly simple: I have a druid character i am creating that has +9 natural AC, a Monk's Belt, Gloves of Dex +6, Ring of Protection +5, and Collar o' Wisdom +6. My stats, including item bonuses, are Dex 20(+5) and Wis 26(+8). So, assuming my math is correct, my Armor Class should be...

10 + 5 dex + (8 wis + 1 monk's belt) + 5 ring + 9 nat = 38, 29 Touch, 33 Flat.

just posting to make sure my math is correct and that none of these bonuses overlap. away from me books tonight, figured this was quicker than trying to google the solution.

thanks in advance for any help, have a good night.-Lobo13

A dire bear cannot wear a belt.

If you invest heavily in wilding clasps (or if the natural armor is from your usual form), then everything works.

Since when did wisdom modifiers count towards AC?!?
Wait, wat does the monks belt do again?
*Reads DMG, then PH*
Oh. Darnit, I made a fool out of myself again!
