I just noticed that for some reason my AC drops to 13 sometimes. When I respawned myself I took off the Villainous suit and put it back on and it goes back to 24 AC. I don't know what's causing this but I did notice that I have skill decrease marker which I assume is from my pickpocket which is -35 even if I have invested points in it.

I am unable to determine what is causing this but I only notice it during or after a battle but it does happen from time to time. Any thoughts on what I can do to make sure its a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I noticed that happening after adjusting the look of armor. For the skill decrease, unless I'm mistaken that's intentional in order to stop the regular nwn pickpocketing from working.

I did change the color of most of my armor, cloak and helmet. Do I need to log off after applying the changes on the color? I haven't progressed well with this particular character since I keep on having to respawn due to low AC all of a sudden. It breaks the experience when you have to check your AC during battle which takes half of the game screen while your character is trying to survive from being stabbed at all sides.

There's an old NWN dex bug that does this. Basically just remove 1 DEX increasing piece of gear and put it back on, presto you are back to your normal AC.

So do I have to do this everytime after changing item colors?

You shouldn't, no. I'm not exactly sure what triggers it but it shouldn't happen all the time. I have a few DEX chars and I have rarely gotten the issue before.

Does the armor give a bonus to DEX? It could be that, removing/readding (as a result of crafting) so quickly could be triggering the DEX to bug. Someone else has to know better details.

It does give DEX bonus. I think this should be documented in the dialog. It may ruin the experience for new players or those unaware of this bug.

Every time I adjust the appearance or color of any item I make sure to unequip it and reequip it. This doesn't just happen with armor, it happens with skill points increases from other items also.

I think it's because the way the Amia crafting system works, it destroys the item you are actually wearing (ever notice that dialog that you have lost X, or if you have the item quick slotted the slot empties?). Then when you finish crafting it doesn't reapply the benefits.

It's not too hard though to make the last action of crafting unequiping then reequiping the item.

It probably should be noted in the crafting dialog though.

This also happens occasionally when using the portal wand, by the way, because it causes 'paralysis' of the person opening the portal. Sometimes you have re-equip an AC-changing item for it to reset back to your true AC, or you run into battle with a lot less!

Locking this since its not really something we can fix.
