Baal:

AC 38, touch 19, flat-footed 36 (+9 armor, +2 Dex, +10 natural, +8 profane, –1 size)

Str 37, Dex 25, Con 29, Int 25, Wis 25, Cha 27

SHould his DEX bonus to AC be +6?

[AvalonXQ]

Armor limits your maximum dex bonus to AC. I assume from the "+9 armor" that he must be wearing heavy armor with a max dex of +2.

And incidentally, a 25 stat has a modifier of +7. The formula is half minus five.

[Lathiira]

He's wearing armor, is he not? Max Dex bonus would apply. His entry mentions bronze chainmail, and he's based off the old 1.5E critter from their Monster Manual 2, so I think that's the problem.

[AvalonXQ]

Looking at the entry, he is wearing +3 chainmail. The AC is calculated correctly based on this.

With a dex that high it would make more sense to wear something like +3 leather armor, but I'm sure the chainmail is thematic.
