From my understanding of armor, doesn't the limit on max dex to AC only apply to normal AC? Touch AC would still have all the dex calculated in, no, same as reflex saves and such aren't hurt by this limitation?

Quote from: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/armor.htm#maximumDexBonusMaximum Dex Bonus

This number is the maximum Dexterity bonus to AC that this type of armor allows. Heavier armors limit mobility, reducing the wearer's ability to dodge blows. This restriction doesn't affect any other Dexterity-related abilities.

My interpretation from that is that the armour only lets you add a certain amount of your dexterity bonus to AC, and that would apply to both touch AC and regular AC, as no specific exception is called out.

EDIT: How did I miss Eb quoting the same line in the SRD I did?

Anyway, see what Eb pasted. Heavy armor limits mobility, thus making it harder to dodge and impossible to use your full dexterity effectively. It doesn't make sense for it to limit your dexterity bonus to normal attacks but not to touch ones. Why would you be immobilized enough to not dodge a sword but someone free enough to use your dex to dodge a beam or touch? It doesn't make sense.

Unless you can provide a counter example, Cor? (I say this because I skimmed the monster section of the SRD for an example to help prove the point, but I couldn't find one. Damn Wizards only giving monsters the dex they need and not a drop more!)

[20:51] <Ebiris> Well, we can ask Latha if she wants to forfeit her share, but personally I'd rather an equal distribution rather than just the PCs getting an equal share and then spending unequal amounts on the NPCs.
[20:53] <Seira> We can ask her, sure, but she's our angel guide from the celestial planes. It's hard for me to see her gather loot when she talks of millennia passing like nothing.
[20:56] <Kowork> She doesn't want much. She would like one of the Erinyes bows as a trophy, however, but otherwise she's good. She's not doing it for the money.
[20:56] <Seira> Works for me

Tai, comments?

it works. No other commentary. Also die msn, you fail at life.

Corwin

[20:39] <Kotono> Okay. Mithril Full Plate of Speed+1 is 26500. You okay with that?

Yep! Listing here for easier bookkeeping. Donald has powered-up!

Goldemyst is offering the following items:

Angelhelm(As per MIC)
Bracers of Arcane Freedom(As per MIC)
Boots of the Battle Charger(As per MIC)
Belt of Battle(One per day it grants you a standard action at the start of your turn. This must be taken immediately and before your normal action or the ability is lost. The activation is mental and counts as a swift action.)

If you're interested in any of these, say so and he'll offer a trade.

Seira: 2 sets of chain barding+2 and the Baatorian Greensteel Longsword for the Angelhelm and Bracers of Arcane Freedom. These are for Donald, I believe?

Correct. I'm providing the capital and if he can't afford all this after the adventure with his share/doesn't want some of them, I'll cover the difference myself.

To finish up loose business, Antenora trades for the Boots of the Battle Charger. For current loot:

New stuff

Hourglass Platinum Ring: This ring has the sigil of the Desjardin clain. It is made of pure platinum and is worth 4,000 GP if sold.
Flail of Agony: This flail replaces a creature's stun ability(As per an Astral Deva or Cornugon) with a variety of painful maimings. This weapon radiates pure evil and no one wants to leave it lying around as is.
Greataxe+2, Greater Gnomecraft: This axe function as per a +2 axe. It has an additional +2 bonus to damage that stacks with it's enhancement bonus and does a bonus +2d6 on critical hits. 16,000 GP.
Bracers of Light Absorbtion: These bracers are keyed to the user's battle prowess. Whenever they score a critical hit, the bracers suck in all the light in a thirty foot radius centered on the wielder. This functions as a Deeper Darkness spell, with the CL being the creature's levels/ hit dice and lasts for one hour. 15,000 gP.
Longbow+2: 8000 GP. Nothing special here.
Bracers of Archery: +1 to hit/damage with bows. This functions between Bracers of Archer, LEsser and Greater. 12,500 GP.
750 GP in coins of unknown make. (Found on the remnants of the Amnizu)
Eyes of the Eagle: As per SRD, 2,500 GP. (Found on the remnants of the Amnizu)
Mysterious Sphere: This sphere seems to be some sort of six parted device. It has segments, of which each are keyed to a specific individual: White diamond(Alicia), mithril(Demedais), star ruby(Seira), gray diamond(Antenora), snow white opal(Latha) and red and white striped agate stone(Donald.) Should any of this beings be killed within a 500 foot radius of the stone, their bodies and souls are instantly sucked into the corresponding segment with no saving throw. Much of it's power seems to come from it's user - the Barregon's pure, unfiltered evil gave it the fuel to run. As is, it is merely inactive and only mildly vile.

While not redeemable in any useful sense, it may be possible to at least eliminate the evil it and reduce it to it's components safely. This is desirable, since doing so would ensure it could never be used again. Doing so will not be an easy task, however. More on this later.

Possible claim on Bracers of Archery; if Pollyanna wants 'em, cool, if not, she has some cash to spend.

Corwin

I'll first cover Donald's debt (will settle it with Dune), then grab the ring of plot (4k), dagger of jewels (3k) and earrings (5k).

It'd be totally pro if the angels could redeem the flail cause then Latha could keep it as a souvenier or something, along with her bow.
