Just a few corrections....
The +1 from focus not stack with the +2 from epic focus... Each feat yields +1
Wrong. The AC from tumble is not affected by anything whatsoever except the number of base ranks in it... Armor Check Penalties do not effect the ac from tumble...
Xilo's unbuffed ac without a shield = 79
Xilo's unbuffed ac after adding a completely plain tower shield = 82
Keep in mind that the Armor check penalty of a tower shield is -10 and the base armor of a tower shield is 3.
The Armor Check Penalties ((Along with dex mod)) do effect accual tumble rolls though... So if you won't have the skill points to add 40 ranks into tumble ((Or 20 for cc)) But you'd still like to become immune to Attacks of Opportunities... then be sure to take those things into account and after all the mods reach for a +13 ((On a roll of 1 you fail anyways))
Getty Fade... always considered to have one of the higher AC's on the server.... myself, quite the powergamer, on thinking Getty knew something I did not... began to question him. After a bit of nagging... he dropped his "secret". It was that he got an extra 3 ac from taking skill focus and epic skill focus into tumble... to acheive ((43 + 2 +10 = 55)) 11 ac from tumble... as opposed to what I thought was the max of 8 ((40 tumble)) I even accualy though of remaking xilo for a 6th time just to achieve the added 3 ac. But first I had to test it. Hopped onto my self-built training mod and made a test char.
Level 20 rogue base ac with 20 into tumble = 18 ((4 dex + 4 tumble))
Same rogue after taking epic skill focus tumble at lvl 21 = 18
Unchanged.
Sorry to spill the beans Getty.. but I thought this was an apropriate thread to state this.

The feats I have to drop are possibly weapon focus and epic weapon focus. Can I afford to miss the +3 to attack?The +1 from focus not stack with the +2 from epic focus... Each feat yields +1

Also with tumble, make sure to subtract your armour penalty and have that end on something divisible by 5. Each 5 points=1 AC, but that's after armour check. So if you armour is -9, stop at 19 so you have a 10 total.Wrong. The AC from tumble is not affected by anything whatsoever except the number of base ranks in it...
