Recently giving a character a shirt of Elven Chain +1, and I don't think the character builder is calculating the bonuses for skills correctly? Or is my math that bad (a complete possibility). Thx!
Oh, I see. I'm confused about the differences between an Elven Chain, which provides proficiency, and Mithral Chain, which does not.
I was trying to give a player character a magic chain shirt that would act like Light Armour, and thus get to use her Dex bonus to AC. I thought one or the other kind for magic chainmail shirts would provide this. I think I'm just remembering old D&D treasure stats or something.
Here's the link, if you're interested. Perhaps there's a way to accomplish this for the player? Or maybe just use some Studded Leather magic item?
You can do it as a homebrew item. Base it on Elven Chain, you can change the Dex bonus dropdown menu to 'Full Modifier' in the basic information section at the top.

I gave a whirl earlier and didn't get that Full Modifier thing. And yes, I keep forgetting the max bonus to AC from armour is capped at 2.

Please post a link to your character sheet so someone can look into it for you.
