Dex enchantment

[finian]

Hi I have a little Thing I would like to know are there a enchantment to Armor that gifts me a higher maximum dex thanks

[Deadmanwalking]

No. There's making it out of Mithral, and there's Celestial Armor...and that's pretty much it.

Oh I have hope I could find some way for my PC to be running around and casting spells and jumping around in a suit of full plate armor

[Wrong John Silver]

You need to look at ACP and caster failure rate. Those are both mitigated by mithral. If you're looking to reach 0 ACP and 0% failure rate, don't use full plate, use bracers of armor, amulets of natural armor, rings of protection, spells, and the like.

Well, you could go Chelish Diva (learned from Deadmanwalking) and get full plate and cast without penalty. Not sure if it would affect your speed or jump though.

Paladins can wear full plate and cast too, though their spells are more limited.

If you're allowed to go back to 3.5 sources, I believe there was a "nimble moves" enhancement that increased the max dex bonus you could add to the armor. I believe it was a +1 enhancement for a +1 to max Dex, so not my favorite exchange.

[Zathyr]

It was just called "Nimble" as I recall, and it also dropped armor check penalty by 2, so it wasn't too bad. I had a 3.5 roguish Warlock in Nimble armor - not full plate though. It was that elvish relic armor. Anyway..

Well you could. If you're a divine caster then the arcane spell failure chance doesn't apply to you, or as an arcane caster you could limit yourself to spells without somatic components, or take an archetype that lets you cast without penalty in full plate (like the Chelish Diva).

As for running around and jumping, that's just acrobatics skill. The armor check penalty would apply, and your speed would be reduced by full plate, but you can compensate with high skill and magic items like the Boots of Striding and Springing.

Your max dex from armor isn't a factor in any of that. That only determines how much of your dex bonus counts towards your AC.
