Grappling and overbearing...

Post by marroon69 »

Sorry full of question it seems as I read through the book.

On page 174 under Grappling
The there is a small paragraph about grappling but it transitions to Overbearing when it talks about the AC. I am thinking they are calculated the same.

There is this line on the bottom of page 174 column 1

"The AC is modified by the strength, the dexterity,
and the size difference between the two opponents. "

In the example with the troll and halfling then do not add dex

"The halfling has strength as a prime and therefore a base armor class of
18, modified by a 14 strength (+1), and his BtH (+2) adds a total
of +3 for a total of AC 21. But the troll is two sizes larger, so a -4
adjustment to the halfling’s armor class results in an AC of 17."

So is dex added or not? or am I not understanding?

Yes, it is. "The AC is modified by the strength, the dexterity,
and the size difference between the two opponents
