Home brew Elven Chain not calculating the dex bonus correctly

Hi

I copied the elven chain and did the following:

• Base Armor: Chain Shirt (13 AC)
• Dex Bonus: Full Modifier (+4 at 18 Dex)
• Stealth Check: None
• Modifier: Bonus - Armor Class (+1 AC) - this was automatic from the copy
• Modifier: Self - Proficient  - this was automatic from the copy

Adding the shirt to my character and equipping it gives me 16 AC (13 base + 2 dex  + 1 magic) when it should be 18 AC (13 base + 4 dex +1 magic)

It doesn't seem to be respecting the dex bonus dropdown. Can anyone confirm?

The dropdown DEX bonus must be set to "-". Then you apply a modifier: "Set" - "Max DEX bonus".

That didn't work either. Now it's only showing 14 AC and not applying any DEX.

Also: That is a super weird way to go about it. Why would the "dex" dropdown not override and do what it says and apply the full modifier?

When creating the modifier "Set" - "AC Max DEX modifier", what value did you put in Fixed Value?

Putting a +5 there should work.

Ahh, that worked thanks. I see how that is put together.
