: | :* '''Max Dex Bonus:''' Most armor limits the maximum amount of your Dexterity bonus that you can apply to your AC (see Table: Armor and Shields). If your dexterity modifier is greater than the max dex value for your armor or shield, you may only add up to the maximum value listed for your armor to your armor class. | ||

: Some spells or creatures are capable of passing straight through shields and armor, or enveloping the space you are in so thoroughly that your shield and armor are meaningless. These effects target your Touch AC instead of your regular AC. Note that such attacks only bypass the native AC granted by armor and shields, not any magical enhancement bonus the armor or shield may have. | : Some spells or creatures are capable of passing straight through shields and armor, or enveloping the space you are in so thoroughly that your shield and armor are meaningless.

: Sometimes you can't use your Dexterity bonus (if you have one) when defending yourself. If you can't react to a blow, you can't use your Dexterity bonus to AC. This is tracked with the Flat-Footed AC value. If you don't have a Dexterity bonus, your AC does not change. | : Sometimes you can't use your Dexterity bonus (if you have one) when defending yourself.
