Dodge bonus

Overview
A Dodge bonus is a bonus to Armor Class. Note that dodge bonuses can stack with each other, contrary to most other Armor Class bonus types. Identical magnitude dodge bonuses from treasure do not stack in DDO. So a +3 dodge bonus on Dragontouched armor will not stack with a +3 dodge bonus from Chattering Ring. But a +4 dodge bonus on the Icy Raiment will stack with the +3 from either Dragontouched, Chattering Ring.

Dodge Bonus Limitations
It is written in DDO user manual (p.74) and in PnP book (need citation), that dodge bonuses only stack up to a maximum of 10. But that is not really the case in game. You can benefit from more than 10 dodge bonus. It is unclear whether it is intentional or not.

Dodge Bonus Item Stacking

 * "The dodge bonuses for multiple chattering rings are being treated as coming from the same source so they do not stack." - developer Grral
 * "Identical magnitude dodge bonuses from treasure do not stack in DDO. (With the exception of the Eldritch Ritual Shield/Armor improvements, when we renamed those to "Dodge". We'll rename those yet again to be clearer that those stack with everything but themselves.) This is an intentional deviation from the basic D&D rules." - developer Eladrin, forums.ddo.com
