Max Dex Bonus? And Druid Armor?

[Smoke]

Hello, was just wondering if the Max Dex Bonus to Armor gives you AC, and what armor should a Druid wear? Assuming he has Wildshapes to use, my druid is level 5 right now.

Edit: Nevermind about the Max Dex Bonus--found that out. Still puzzled on a Druid's armor and wildshape.

When you use wildshape, the type of armor won't matter. For example, a regular fullplate or a regular cloth will give you the same AC when wildshaped. The enchantment bonus on your armor will however transfer. So if you've a +1 armor, you get +1 more AC. If you've a +4 armor, you get +4 more AC while in wildshape.

You're probably best of buying a scalemail +4 or such. Inferior armor types like that aren't used by anyone else, so you can get a +4 armor very cheaply on the auctioneer. Their price is usually below 10k.

I have a +4 leather that I'll give you. PM me if you want it.

Wait, I thought took half of the enhancement bonus for the armor/shield/deflection when wildshaped.

Only the bonus to the shield is halved.

You should stick with animal hides. IIRC, lore is druids don't wear metal armor.

You are right of course, my brain was confused from information consumed long ago.
