I was looking at an encounter that has a tiny character and I think his AC is wrong. He is wearing a +2 chain shirt, since he is tiny the armor's armor bonus is supposed to be halved (per chart 6-8 on pg 153 of core) which makes is AC 2 points lower.
Thoughts?
Meh, it's one of those hidden rules that almost never comes up and most people don't know about. Heck, that rule dates back to the 3.0 PH, and I didn't know about it... and my name's in that book!
I'll note it for a fix in the stat block spreadsheet.
I didn't know it either, but I could not get the right AC with Hero Lab. Thought it was a bug with them until Mathias gave me the smack down. That your Mr. Reynolds.

Decidedly counter intuitive.
Seeing how armor in the game is an abstraction I have some problem with the rule.
A rule question:
- if I become tiny or smaller through the use of some spell I should halve the armor AC?
- I suppose it only apply to artificial armor and only to the base armor value, not to the entrenchment bonuses.
Yes only to the armor bonus granted by the normal armor, enhancement bonuses are unchanged.
