Armor Check Multiplier

[Visvalor]

Two questions. First is there any way I can get the multiplier visible on the skills page in 3.5 and secondly, which is the bigger issue, it doesn't appear to be working. I set the armor check to 4 on the inventory sheet and nothing happens in the skills

Any help is appreciated, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

The skill check penalty field on the character inventory tab needs to be set to a negative value. Just want to be sure, since you typed the value in your original post without a negative sign.

Oh ok. What about the max dex bonus? It seems to work with armor but it doesn't seem to modify anything else. I thought max dex bonus also applies to skills and etc. Doesn't it?

Max Dex Bonus is the maximum amount of Dex bonus that will be applied towards the character armor class. It is different than the Skill Check Penalty, and only affects the dexterity bonus applied to armor class.

I believe that these are standard armor attributes for both 3.5E and PFRPG.
