View Full Version : Has that whole silliness about the Swordsage's bonus AC been errated?

I mean the bit about only getting their wisdom to AC when wearing light armor (as if that makes any sense for a warrior who shuns relying on armor to avoid blows).

see the errata for yourself. (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/Errata_ToB.zip)

The errata is... lacking.

At least no reasonable person will keep it from functioning unarmored.

oh, no, it is not lacking in the slightest -- it does take up a bit more than a page, even. it does have other problems, however, and it certainly doesn't address the issue at hand.

I guess swordsages just don't feel very wise when they're naked.

At least they still get x6 skill points at 1st level :wink:

Thanks for all the answers so far. I think I've found something relatively decisive on the matter:


Q: Alright, so the Swordsage's AC Bonus ability states "Starting at 2nd level, you can add you Wisdom modifier as a bonus to Armor Class, so long as you wear light armor, are encumbered, and do not use a shield."
Does this mean that you can't use this ability when you are unarmored, ONLY in light armor? By RAW it does but... is it a mistake for errata, should I inform my DM that it works with no armor as well?
A: The intent is that you get this benefit whether you are wearing light armor or are unarmored. I will pass this issue along to the appropriate departments for potential errata treatment. Of course your DM is allowed to rule however he/she wishes. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

...the urge to laugh is so strong, yet I find myself unable to.

They are still working on it, but that part has indeed been answered. (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=11890.msg405383#msg405383)

Well, by rights it SHOULD be an off-foot attack.

EDIT: The clarification on IHS is a nice touch.
