Dodge Bonus and Divine Shield

according to neverwinter nights wiki:
http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Armor_class
Dodge bonuses will stack with each other, but there is a maximum of +20. Furthermore, these provide no benefit when caught flat-footed (even if the character has uncanny dodge or defensive awareness).
-effect/item property: haste (+4)
-epic spell: epic mage armor (+5)
-feat: bard song (+2-7)
-feat: divine shield (+1-20)
-feat: defensive stance (+4)
-feat/skill: mounted combat/ride (+1-20 if riding a horse)
-feat: shadow evade (+1-4)
-item: boots AC bonus (+1-20)
-spell: mage armor (+1)

Is this still true for the Dark Isles server. for my cleric i have magic boots that provide a +7 ac bonus and haste with +4. this is only +11. I should be able to use divine shield or mage armor and get my Cha bonus and the +1 from mage armor added to my AC , but for some reason i cant. Is this a bug, or a special limiting feature for high end ACs? I am ok with it, just would like to not waste my feats on something that adds no value even though it says they all should stack.

Thanks.

Val has shoes +6 and haste +4 so total of +10

With Cha Mod of 20 he gets +10 on devine shield (to the 20 cap), and yes it does not increase further. I use epic mage armor for the +5 just because it's a long lasting effect and helps to limit the sudden -10 drop from devine shield to -5, but it does not add anything.

If you have shoes +7 and haste +4 you still should be able to get the 9 AC points provided and the charisma bonus on devine shield with +1 AC boost from the mage shield. Perhaps it's something to do with your class being cleric, but I can't tell for sure.
