So, I'm considering including leather armour made from a [protected intellectual property] that is naturally bouyant. If I make it so that it has no maximum dex am I right that you need +10 dex modifier to better Mithral Breast Plate (+6 AC +5 max dex)? Is there any other effect of no max dex that I'm overlooking?
I know I could just give it a +9 or +10 max dex, but no max dex sounds way more awesome...
I'm also thinking of adding a minor bonus to fly checks to hover/not fall. or maybe a boost to saves vs gaze and ray attacks? any better ideas out there?
Thanks

You are correct; leather armor with no max Dex would be better than mithral breastplate if you had a Dex of 30+.
Really not sure what you're going for, though. So I can't weigh in much as far as the other things. I have ideas, but I can't be sure until I get a little more info.

To be fair not 100% sure what I'm going for, just floating ideas and seeing if anything sticks for some badass or interesting leather armour. Something thematic considering the multi-eyed beast it originates from.
The many-eyed danger of the deeps isn't noted for its speed or agility. No max Dex seems wrong to me. If anything I'd think hide armor would be more natural to it.
OTOH a flight enchantment or a bonus to fly checks would fit. Or an anti-magic effect like spellsink or spell dodging, or perhaps a variable effect like spell storing.
Hide armor with reduced check penalty.
A bonus to Fly, a random effect from one of the preserved eyestalks 3/day and dispel magic 1/day.
Celestial Armor has an abnormally high max Dex bonus and gives the ability to cast 'Fly' once per day. Might be a good place to start for designing it.
Synergizes with the Celestial Shield, which could be made from other bits of the critter.
Maybe a unique armor that gives Fly, and a shield that blocks Ray attacks, and in combination they let you dispel magic in a cone.
