Sacred Fist gets an AC penalty for wearing light armor?

[Flights of Fantasy]

I logged into my Sacred Fist character earlier today and noticed he was now getting hit with an AC penalty while he had light armor equipped. Is this a glitch or did Sacred Fist get a nerf? I hope it's not the latter because I spent quite a bit of time leveling him up and money to acquire the Mithral Chainmail during my Christmas break.

As far as I'm aware it's a fix (as opposed to a nerf). It happened a while ago I think and it is how Sacred Fists with armour are supposed to work to the best of my knowledge - that's how monks work anyway so it shouldn't be any different.

No, not a while ago. While I've been busy with college and haven't logged on him for maybe two weeks, the last time I was on him this AC nerf did not exist. Part of the benefit of being a sacred fist is being able to wear light armor without loosing your AC. This would definitely be a nerf, not a fix.

AC bonusEdit
When unencumbered, wearing no or light armor and not using a shield a sacred fist gains a +1 AC bonus. This increases to +2 at level 5 and +3 at 10.

Note: Though not mentioned in the description, this has the added benefit of allowing you to retain both your light armor bonus and your Monk AC bonus. This only functions if you already have Monk levels.

Don't shoot the messenger. I remember talking to a player of a sacred fist years ago and he was annoyed he could no longer wear light armour without penalty. From memory it was the monk AC that didn't stack (so wisdom bonus and the 1AC every 5 monk levels), sacred fist AC still worked in light armour. I personally think this is how it should work, in the monk description it clearly states that armour negates monk bonuses and in the sacred fist description it doesn't say sacred fist AC bonuses stack with monk. Also, nwn2wiki isn't reliable for BGTSCC, just saying.

it was changed some time ago, it should only be monk bonus that is lost tho

The fix must have been removed at some point, then. I distinctly remember the huge AC boost I got after my character took his first SF level and was able to wear his mithral chain mail. That or the AC penalty just wasn't applied to my character for a while for some reason. I would definitely have remembered seeing the negative ac icon next to his portrait.
