Question about Tenser's Transformation (natural armor vs. dodge bonus)

[Legacy_Guest_Scrotok_*]

               Hi all!

According to NWNWiki:

http://nwn.wikia.com..._transformation

...Tenser's Transformation adds +4 natural armor AC bonus.  However, it also says:

"Although called a "natural armor bonus", the bonus is in fact a dodge bonus, which stacks with other dodge bonuses toward the +20 cap."

Any idea how to confirm this?  In other words, is it possible to write a script to test what kind of AC bonus (natural armor, dodge, etc.) is granted by this spell?

Thanks!
JP

                I'd look at the script
NW_S0_TensTrans

Then look at the polymorph. I believe the vanilla NWN polymorph for this spell is 38 - celestial avenger.
Column NATURALACBONUS has a value of 4 for this form. Despite the name I believe this creates a dodge bonus for the creature transformed.

               if this would be really natural, then drinking the potion of barkskin in polymorph should grant no AC bonus, if it does its not natural

but, believe me its dodge, this bonus is coming from polymorph.2da and is related to all polymorphs - for example dragon has +20dodge from this

The polymorph is 28 for doom knight.  All AC bonuses of the "NATURALACBONUS" column in polymorph.2da are dodge.
