Dexterity bonus and CMD question

[Razz]

It doesn't specifically state it anywhere that I can find, but I assume that if you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC, you also lose it to CMD, correct?

I would assume that since your CMD is changed whenever your AC is changed due to an affect that isn't armor, natural armor, etc that you would lose your dexterity bonus to it as well as your AC when such a situation comes up.

I like it better that way, much less static.

Yes. Just a quick glance at the character sheet reveals: CMD = BAB+str+dex+size+10

So, yeah, you lose it from CMD.

Also, the formula is listed on page 199.

It is confusing, but the written text there adds several things (most if not all count for touch AC) to the CMD that are not listed in the formula.
