"Display current AC" in Rest Menu

Post by MRFTW » Sat May 07, 2022 12:28 pm

Description of Bug Experienced:
I was just messing around, seeing what the above function did. I used it when my character sheet displayed 29 AC, and the readout was 26AC. I activated iron stance (+4 AC) and pressed display AC again. The readout still was 26 AC.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Press "display current AC"
Activate iron stance
Press "display current AC"

Expected Result:
Readout AC is increased by 4 to account for iron stance.

Actual Result:
AC is applied to the character but not to the readout

Screenshot(s)
I think the above should be sufficient info, but if not I can sort some screenshots.

Additional Information/Notes
Dwarf, Earth Genasi, Ftr 6 / LM 3 / DWD 7
I have the LM AC secret, too.
I'm not sure why the original readout was 26 vs my character sheet AC of 29. That could be a separate bug, related or unrelated to iron stance not being counted.

Display AB seems to be working fine. I don't have the LM AB secret yet, so I can't check if it's correctly counted or not.

The readout currently displays flat-footed AC. We're working on a fix and are planning to expand the feature a little.

The uncanny dodge and defensive awareness feats allow retention of the dexterity AC bonus when flat-footed, but dodge and tumble bonuses are still lost (as is the ability to make attacks of opportunity, etc.)

Edit: looks like kalo answered, but I'll add that if you keep the menu open and click to move, filling your action queue, it'll un-flatfoot you and you'll see ac while not flat. I thought that was a feature :0
