- Is 67 a good AC or even 75 or should I might as well have 1AC with that amount also did I miss any AC sources?

- Does Halfling Companion work on the Dog and does it stack with stuff like heroism

- What To-hit should I strive for?

- Did I miss any critical feats...or well critical anything?

- Do the enchant weapon and armor spells stack with the enhancement bonus ie. +5 robe of stuff becomes +6 robe of stuff when enchanted or does it just enchant non-magical armor to be +1 armor

- With Artificer Knowledge does it increase the effect of items like barkskin pots IOW if the boost to caster level puts the pot high enough to make it a +4 Barkskin pot will it do so.

67 or 75 is great AC for a majority of content however I'm not sure if splashing monk is worth it on an Artificer but I just really like the level 6 spell slots, extra SP and capstone I suppose.

Not sure about Heroes Companion but I bet it would (just roll a level 1 artificer to find out?)

Top AC mobs have about 65 AC or something but usually AC reductions are applied to these foes. If you max your dexterity with items, find a +2 attack source (spectral gloves etc), get tier 3 in halfling cunning (is that the AB one?), get a sneak attack item, buff appropriately etc, you should have no problems.

Enchant Weapon/Armour does stack and so does the +2 enhancement that BE PrE gives. At the outside you could have a +14 epic chimaera's fang on a sentinel dragonmarked human (I think).

Yes, I imagine you can boost the caster level of potions up enough to get a higher result. A +3 pot is CL:6 so will be increased to CL:11 which is +4. Unfortunately you are just 1 CL away from +5.

Thanks wax those are the answered I was hoping for (except the no +5 Nat armor :P although I suppose that's by design) The 2 monk isn't just for AC I just chose monk instead of rogue to get AC and the extra feats don't hurt...really choosing 2monk over 2rogue only loses a few skills points which are easily regained after a few levels and the capstone is nice but to be honest when I hit cap I usually just switch to a new guy epics,etc. aren't really my thing
