If I understand this correctly.....you wish to find out how to maximize your AC for your PC? If this is what you mean, then, perhaps, armor with enchantments, rings, boots, cloaks and other special magic items will do such as this. Be aware that some AC bonus items will not stack. There are a variety of bonus items for AC that can stack...Examples of this are - Dodge, Shield, Armor, and Dex., but, be wary of your max Dex. bonus for the Armor you wear as well. This can all affect what AC your PC can attain.....

There are several types of armor enhancements. I don't remember them all right off the top of my head but here are some examples.
Armor, deflection, shield, enhancement, dodge, natural, and luck.
These all stack with each other but won't stack with the same types. The higher of the two bonuses will be used, such as a cloak of protection +1 and a ring of protection +3. the ring will add to your armor class but the cloak won't because they both give enhancement bonuses.
There is one exception to the rule but I am not sure it really works in NWN2, dodge bonuses are supposed to stack with each other, since class abilities will add dodge bonuses as do certain feats.
Try to remember to look at the item description to see what type of bonus the item you want to buy has.

AC = 10 + Shield AC + Dodge AC+ Armor AC + Natural AC + Deflection AC + Dex Modyfier(different armors allow different maximum dex mod AC bonus)
Its pretty simple. only dodge ac stacks. (like combat expertise + boots of hardiness)
Correct me if i am wrong in some part.
to give you a measurement, i have a lv 15 paladin. all +2 items using tower shield i get 35 AC.
P.S. Tower shield gives 2 more shield AC, but it also substracts 2 Attack Bonus.
