[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Toot]

CoS is PF, means not 3.5 core. This could be the end of the argument. Still, I take the effort to mention that--
- I don't know of any items in the 3.5 core that would confer you any language you don't speak already (apart from comprehend languages or tongues of course).
- If you calculated with two skill points that's fine. Just wanted to make sure.
- That movie is based on a novel that is based on a true story (except the gauntlet part I believe) but I mentioned it just for fun, not as any kind of argument about what magic can or cannot do.
- More likely the teflon orb would have a "racial" -100 to anything that involves any form of friction. And a negative natural armor.
- Dusty rose is +1 to AC for 5k. Just in case you'd feel unsafe with AC26 as it stands now. I don't think Wild Shape could be much higher. Your size bonus drops; your shield and armor bonuses drop; your dex bonus probably drops. If you can't wear the belt in your new form... let's not even think about that disaster

I could just buy a helm of Comprehending Languages and reading magic and stick it on Boo's head.  Then Boo could understand every language for 5,200gp's.  

The Ioun stone was more for boosting Toot's Wisdom.  The AC bonus was just an added benefit.  

As for Armor Class in animal forms.  Most animals do have some kind waist of some kind.  If they have hind legs then they should have a waist. They even tie bulls and horses around the inside of their back legs to get them to buck.  However, one of Toot's major forms will be a Dire Ape.  He would have a AC23 (Base10 - 1size +8belt +2Dex + 4natural = 23); as a Dire Bear, Toot would have an AC25; And then there's the mighty Dire Bat which would give Toot a AC28.
