Armor class by source
The following table shows an incomplete list of different armor class bonuses.


 * Bonus : The armor class bonus
 * Source : The type of the source that gives the bonus
 * Name : The name of the item, spell or feat that gives the bonus
 * Type : The type of the bonus. This entry has the form Type (Subtype), where Type is the category as it appears in game in the armor class field in the character sheet. Subtype is an arbitrary name chosen for the purpose of stacking - two armor class bonuses only stack if they have a different Type and Subtype. The only exception are warforged docents which stack with warforged armor feats.
 * Condition : A condition that must be met for the bonus to become active.

Maximum dexterity bonus
Each character gains additional armor class bonus equal to his Dexterity bonus. However, this bonus is limited by the Maximum dexterity bonus. Both shields and armor limit your dexterity bonus, the lower of the two is the maximum dexterity bonus.

See Maximum dexterity bonus for base values for different armor and shield types.
