It's as high as you can possibly get without magical items or specific capstone abilities. Anyone who had over 20 in a stat would likely be very well known for their feats.

🤣🤣🤣

Same. I remember getting that stuff from restaurants lmao.

I actually played some of the Geralt collab in MH:W! I was still very bad at the game, (now I'm just a normal amount of bad at it). But it was awesome. They put Rathian and Rathalos into FFXIV as a collab also. They were badass.

@PanicRolling I still need to grab the Rath mount, but that fight's pretty awesome.

Lol!

Just when you think it's a booger, it's not.

100% of the time, it works 5% of the time.

The average person would likely struggle to finish one at all. If you aren't used to moving that much, it definitely takes a toll on you when you have to. Obviously adventurers are not normal people though, so it's weighted differently for them. Training even a little bit can have massive effects on your endurance and stamina.

Someone else asked, and I went and tested: If you have "cannot be critically hit" and a high enough AC value, you are literally unhittable with Attack Rolls in BG3. Like you said, the AC required will differ per enemy...but it is still ridiculous.

@PanicRolling yeah. I commented on that thread that it was an odd bug in bg3 that could be exploited in that thread. And that in the table top it still counts as a hit, it just doesn't do the extra damage.

What is the limit, though? Which enemy in the game has the highest modifier to hit, and what is it? Because if you go above that number plus 20, and have a piece of "can't be crit" gear, you should be invincible to any damage coming from attack rolls.

@wekashipo7507 I th9nk the highest is +11 on lower difficulties and +13 on higher. Kolo may know better than I do at this point, but the problem may partly be that I believe much of the immune to crit gear is not the highest ac and comes out of act 1.

@@Quandry1 +13 means you need 34 AC, which is doable. Base 17 from Armour of Agility. Add +6 from 22 DEX (with the mirror of loss) +3 from any of the +3 shields, of which Viconia's is the best +2 from Shield of Faith +1 from Balduran's Greathelm, which also grants crit immunity +1 from Defense fighting style +1 from Defender Flail +1 from Ring of Protection +1 from Cloak of Protection +1 from Wondrous Gloves +1 from Evasive Shoes +1 from being the target of Warding Bond That's 36 AC total.

He's a pretty clever guy, carrying a shield like that...

Lol! Happy to help.

Went and tested with 30AC and a "cannot be crit" helmet vs a +6 Attack roll in BG3. On a 20 roll, it Missed, and was counted as a normal 26 roll after modifiers. So if you had enough AC and uncrittable in BG3, you would be unhittable.

@@PanicRolling Glad to know that BG3 has this little bug. It's a fatal flaw in the system (granted a flaw mostly in PC's favor), because all Crit immunity should do is reduce the incoming damage to normal levels. a Nat 20 should always count as a hit and the Critical is the extra damage part.

Kaboom!

Beats it, meats it.

It's counterintuitive for people coming from most other RPG's to hear that Armor has the opposite of Diminishing Returns. I had to change up my mindset for that one.

After a certain point it's actually less powerful, because above a certain thresh-hold you need to start calculating if you even need those extra turns or if you are better off focusing elsewhere. You may survive longer but if you don't need those turns then surviving longer doesn't matter. You need to balance surviving longer with other factors such as dealing your own damage. If this were a game where you could potentially hit a point where you could block all damage then endless defense can be king, but if you rack on more turns of survivability without any way to deal with the threat and the fact that it will at some point deal enough damage to you too put an end to you. This sadly puts most people into a more of a glass canon mode and thinking that it is all powerful when it has serious drawbacks as well. It also tends to lead to such fallacies as combat healing being ineffective in 5e and BG3 because they work on extremely short survivability windows and only rely on overpowering their opponents defenses first. Which is part of what makes the Orin fight so hard for so many people. She's designed to counteract many of the advantages of glass canon builds, though not to the extreme levels she could have been so she is still beatable. And then there is the fact that because enemies will always hit at a certain point, that points of AC over certain thresh-holds become increasingly situationally useful (and eventually not useful at all) because they are changing the outcomes of your survivability in fewer and fewer instances which is where the bulk of diminishing returns actually lies in the AC system for D&D.

Nah forget all that noise. That sounds like a lot of work.

the dice definitely control your fate, that's for sure

Randomness is more fun in person socially Simular to Mario Kart and so on. But then again if everything went to plan it wouldnt really feel like an adventure as well.

Hell yeh. Let her rip, tater chip.

I agree. I think we should all take turns talking about how cool I am. 😎

Yeh I am definitely going to finish up the set! Real life stuff has delayed that one a bit.

Why stop at 20?

Mostly singing the praises of increasing your own AC. You're spot on about buffing yourself instead of debuffing enemies, too.

Yeh that's why I look like I'm constantly raiding refrigerators. I have the same voice in my head all the time. Also because I'm constantly raiding them.

thanks!

100% chance that every option is a 50% chance.

100% of the time you flip a coin. The higher ac is just adding a bit of weight to one side of the coin making it more likely to land

Naked Gun is such a friggin good movie.

I think Avoidance might be a better name for it. You either dodge and avoid all the dmg, or you avoid it by having your armor block it all.
