Strangely, being paralyzed only makes you flat-footed, but does not incur the same -4 to AC that being asleep or unconscious does. Any specific reason for this?
And why would you not lose any Dexterity bonus to AC for these conditions?
Wearing some armor caps dexterity modifier to AC because it hampers movement, but being unable to move at all somehow still allows a person to benefit from a high dexterity?
