Here are a couple of posts that were listed on the Developer's Corner today concerning the new character class the beastlord, it's AC and weight limits. Silverlynx wrote: In interviews with Verant employees before the release of Luclin it was stated multiple times that the beastlord would benefit from a monk-like AC bonus when fighting unarmed. The community assumed that this would bring with it a weight limit. The high end (kunark, planes, etc.) armors for the beastlords seem to bear this out. They, like the monk armors, are very low weight and very low armor class. Thus far there is no AC bonus for the beastlord (unarmed or not) and there is also no weight limit. Will this be changing? This is not an unreasonable question given the amount of evidence to support the possibility. Please make some kind of statement related to this topic...even if it is to simply say that issues with the beastlord class are still being addressed (though more info would certainly be welcome). Thank you Beastlords do get a native armor class bonus. This bonus is not affected by the weight the Beastlord carries like the Monk's is, but it isn't as good as the one that Monks get either. Alan You should really say something about the Kunark armor for Beastlord's then. I know you don't want to get into that much detail but it was the extremely low weight on these drops, along with unspeakably low AC, that lead people to the assumption that there would be a weight restriction and a very large AC bonus. I bought some Rhino Hide Armor in Cabilis for my newbie Beastlord (Iksar equivalent of leather) and the AC on this is not very much lower than on the armor dropping in Karnor's/Sebilis. I guess the basic question is: Is this a bug/oversight, or as intended? If it's as intended, could you guys share some of the rationale behind it? Thanks! -Sslaughter Beastlord Quellious The Beastlord is restricted to 'leather' armor. So AC on Beastlord armor is going to be lower than most classes. Armor for Beastlords is indeed rather similar than that of Monks. In exchange for Monkish armor and a resultant lesser AC in general (because Monks have that higher bonus), Beastlords get a bunch of other things, like pets, spells and such. The low weight on these items is pretty much just a bonus, and isn't meant to indicate that the Beastlord needs to carry less weight. The items are just lighter. You can't judge parts of the class against other parts of another class without also including all the other things the class can do. Alan
