Volin,

As for why the AC by class + Greatcoats + armour can be so strong, you should look at what I do for AC by class/level.

But, I also allow additional AC due to Class level (to give the world less of a heavy gear feel). Letting the greatcoat stack with armour and the level based AC would be very frustrating for me as the GM. :) Tha being said, I think that would be a call for each GM to make. Myself, no.

That has always been one of the big draws for my players, the chance for a little extra protection. Do you still allow Greatcoats to stack with Light armor?
