I was reading up on the scout and saw its nifty little abilitly at 18th level to gain freedom of movement permanently. That a sparked a memory of seeing.....somewhere.....that the freedom of movement spell allows the benefactor to ignore the max dex limit of armor. Does anyone have any idea what im talking about. If so, where is it? If not, I'm clearly loosing my mind. Thanks.
yes look up armor abilities, particularly ones such as githcraft, feycraft, illithidwrought, twilight, half-weight, glass steel, and freedom (from shining south supplement).
you can make a suit of MW mithril armor with the following properties:
+2 to Dex (made irrelevant by freedom of movement as there will be no dex cap then), -30% to spell fail chance, -60% to weight (or more), -4 to the check penalty, +2 to the armors ac.
thus a suite of full plate would be AC:10, Max Dex:unlimited, Spell Fail: 5%, check penalty -2, and wt:20 lbs (possibly less)
as I recall theres a couple stacks of wt category reduction thus making it count as light armor aswell
ofcourse its like a 26 mil gold suite of armor when your done (pre enchantments)
