Parry AC Calculation Error
« on: May 22, 2020, 07:44:06 PM »
As far as I can tell I seem to not be getting the proper amount of AC from Parry.

1. Standing around in Studded Leather with no weapon drawn I have 26 Parry.
2. If I equip a Viper's Wit (+4 Parry) it puts my Parry Skill to 30, which should be +6 AC.
3. I have Thibault's Geometry which should give an additional +2 AC.
4. Unless my math is terrible somewhere this means I should get +8 AC when equipping a Viper's Wit, but I only get +7.

Your armor check penalty is subtracted from the maximum amount of parry you can have. You won't be able to reach 30 parry mechanically in Studded Leather to receive the +6, so you're effectively capped at 25 Parry.

The 30 Parry cap is calculated "before" ACP is applied, so in studded leather, you're capped at 29, so max +5.  Try putting on leather armour, you should get the +8...

Ah, I didn't realize that part.  So with 27 Parry on the sheet I'd see the correct result with AC.

Nevermind, I see my error now.  Thanks.
