:Your adjusted dexterity modifier is | :Your adjusted dexterity modifier is your Dexterity modifier minus any Dex Penalty to AC caused by either your armor or your shield. That is, if you have a Dexterity modifier of +5 (by having a 20 Dexterity score), but your armor has a Dex Penalty to AC of -2, your adjusted dexterity modifier is 3, not 5. Note that a Dex Modifier to AC from armor (or a shield) can never reduce your Dexterity modifier below a 0 for purposes of modifying your Armor Class. That is, if you have a Dexterity modifier of 1 (from having a 12 Dexterity score), but wear heavy armor that inflicts a -3 Dex Penalty to AC, your Adjusted Dexterity Modifier is 0 (not -2). | ||
