AC Stacking

[Demelain]

Does the Charisma to AC from Battle Dancer (Dragon Magazine Compendium) stack with Monk's Wis to AC? If so, would it continue to stack if I took Ascetic Mage?

[Kethrian]

No, they don't stack.  You would use the higher of the two.  Both class abilities have the same name, and are functionally identical other than which ability score it uses, therefore, they would be treated as the same source.

If Dragon Compendium stuff is available to use, what about non-updated 3.0 stuff?  Mystic Wanderer from Magic of Faerun gets Charisma to AC, and it is named differently, so would stack.

Back in 3.0 there were builds that got Dex, Int, Wis, and Charisma to AC.  You can thank those builds for why 3.5 Duelist in the DMG is restricted to one point of Int mod to AC per class level.

Eh, not actually building it for a game or anything. I don't get to play much D&D these days (friends are in research paper-heavy majors), but I've always just enjoyed the process of making characters. I had to dedicate a folder to them once they became so numerous that I was having trouble sifting through the clutter for my other .txt files.
I don't figure that's unusual for people around here, though.

Oh yes, I've made a couple folders for D&D ideas and such.  Though I use Word for mine since it allows more formatting options and doesn't screw up the spacing when switching on and off between word wrap.
