Basically this is a pretty simple question, I think. I think, anyway. My question is this: Shouldn't the flat-footed AC while incorporeal include the berbalang's +4 deflection AC for a total flat-footed AC of 14? I can't find anywhere saying not to include deflection AC in flat-footed AC, but I may be missing it.
Projection (Su) Once per day as a full-round action, a berbalang can enter a trance that separates the creature's spirit from its body. This splits the berbalang's current hit points in half between its body and its spirit. The berbalang's spirit body gains the incorporeal subtype and special ability; otherwise, it retains the same statistics as its physical self with the following changes: AC 19, touch 19, flat-footed 10 (+4 Dex, +4 deflection, +1 dodge), single incorporeal touch attack that deals 1d4 Constitution damage on a hit as its sole attack. This spirit projection can travel no more than 1 mile away from the berbalang's body. Because the creature is only partially in existence when in this state, its body gains displacement as the spell. When separated in this way, the berbalang's body is unconscious and helpless. If the berbalang's body is injured while in this state, the separated projection immediately returns to its body, and the body loses displacement. If the physical body is slain, the spirit body immediately dies as well. If the spirit is reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, it returns to the body immediately. A berbalang in spirit form can end the effect at any time as a standard action, at which point the spirit immediately returns to the body. When a berbalang's spirit form returns to the body, add both the spirit body's hit points and the physical body's hit points back together to determine the creature's current hit point total.
This wasn't a rhetorical question, by the way. I really am looking for feedback on this.
Deflection bonuses to AC do get added to flat-footed AC, right? If so, shouldn't the flat-footed AC in the quote above be 14 instead of 10?
I have a berbalang with class levels so his Dex score changed, leading me to reevaluate his various AC values, and I want to make sure I get it right on his print-out.
Yes, the deflection bonus should be included in the flat-footed AC.
There are a lot of minor errors in the Bestiary statblocks (understandable, given there are 300 or so statblocks in each one).
Thanks. I'll adjust him appropriately. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't erroneously giving him a higher flat-footed AC than he should have because of something I was overlooking.
