So, a random situation just popped in to my head, and I'm curious if there are any rules that would address this:

While it's rare for a particularly large creature to have dex bonuses to AC, it _does_ happen. What I wonder is...if a sufficiently small creature is in close enough proximity, (a halfling on a dragon's back, for instance), would that circumstance be enough to negate the dex bonus to AC, or does the RAW with regards to dex bonuses to AC take such a situation into account when deciding on the bonus?

One of my first experiences DMing was a 2e game that I was playing with some school buddies. Most of them had played before and were serious about it, but of course we had that _one guy_ who thought it would be _hilarious_ to try to cause as much trouble as he could.

So, his plan is to break in to the local castle and try to sneak into the princesses' room...I let him get all the way up to the 3rd floor of the castle before I set some guards loose on him:

Player: "I run down the hallway...is there a window there?"

Me: "Yes."

Player: "I run for the window, and jump out into the moat!"

Me: "There is no moat..."
