#1 GreenKnight May 27, 2015 17:53:57	I'm not sure about this, so I was hoping someone could clarify this for me. If you have a character with Dex 8, do they have -1 AC like in previous editions? Thanks.
#2 jaelis May 27, 2015 18:05:45	Yes for light and medium armors, no for heavy armor.

#7 SpedGuy May 28, 2015 12:59:03	You can act specifically defensively (dodge action, maneuvers, etc) but in general fighting you just let the armor take the hit.  Anything that just gives a flat AC ignores DEX because it isn't part of the formula (heavy armor, barkskin I think)
#8 reddaemon May 28, 2015 14:24:34	Even if it doesn't make sense. The rules specifically call out that heavy armor does not penalize your AC if you have a negative Dexterity modifier. It states this on page 145.
#9 SadisticLeprechaun May 28, 2015 18:21:23	Related question!   Does someone incapacitated have an effective AC of 0 or 1, giving a -5 modifier? I know grappled doesn’t, it’s just a move of zero. How about if you are incapacitated, unconscious, etc.   Thanks!
