well my friend, since your dex is so high, the armor will actually slow down your movement (dodging). so youll actually be better of without armor at all. if you dont like kotors vast size of apparel, lol, you can still equip jedi robes which will not affect your dex at all.
sorry. i didnt answer your question at all. lol. your dexterity is what skill you have with any ranged weapon and is also the skill you have in avoiding damage. Blasters, grenades, and dodging are all affected by your dexterity. now, when armor says max dexterity, its giving your actual dexterity a boost. for example, you have 7 dexterity. you equip armor with +7 max dexterity bonus which gives you a dexterity total of 14. if you have a low dexterity, its best that you were heavier armor. if its high, which it will be hence the guide, its best to wear the jedi robes or nothing at all. hope i helped
I'm not sure about you but the explinations are confusing.
Max dex bonus is the highest possible defense you can be granted by dexterity. IE:
If you have 36 Dex (Bonus +13) And you equipt Darth Bandon's fiber armor (AC5 MD 5) your armor class is increased by 10 (the ac plus five points of dex bonus.) However, if you don't have armor on you get your full dex bonus of 13, for a +13 to ac.
