    I exported a 22nd level deep gnome monk from the end of a core rules campaign to a HoF game. At the end of the core rules game he had an AC of 41, at the start of the HoF game he had lost 4 points of generic AC and now has an armor class of 37. I don't know for sure if the monk lost his 4 point racial bonus or the 4 point bonus he had for being a 22nd level monk. everything else is exactly the same. Does anyone have an idea why this might be? Thanks in advance for your input.

    You sure that the AC that you quote at the end of normal mode wasn't modified by some magical effect that was wiped out during the export/import?

    Yeah, the only effect in both cases is non-detection. I tried to export the character again as a test and again it subtracted 4 points from my generic AC, it goes from 9 (racial +4, dodge +1, 22 levels of monk +4) to 5. Do you think it is possible that for some reason the export is faulty in that it doesn't confer the racial bonus or the 4 monk bonus points?

    Edit: The export is faulty. I exported a different saved deep gnome monk who was only entitled to a +3 AC bonus (level 17) and it was not preserved through the importation process. And another deep gnome from a 6 member party who was entitled to +6 AC bonus (30th level) and the 6 point bonus did not transfer. But it appears to affect only deep gnomes, when I tested a dark elf monk from another saved party the bonuses for monk levels transferred perfectly.
