It is extremely difficult for my players with no magic that buffs AC!Thats a bit deceptive as its not overly difficult to get an AC higher than that.

Actually, in 5e it should be the opposite, that is the point of bounded accuracy (BA) as implemented in 5e. 5e is built on the idea that it is more fun to hit monsters than miss them. So the chance to hit has moved up from around 50% to 65% in 5e as @6ENow! mentioned. To compensate, things have more hit points.
Warforged Fighter 1, Artificer 1 has an AC of 24 base at 2nd level. Shield comes online at 4th level to get it to 29. Probably has a access to a buff spell like shield of faith for AC 31 by 4th level as well.It is extremely difficult for my players with no magic that buffs AC!
What in the name of Fizban's hairy buttocks is bounded accuracy??? I keep seeing the term, but have no idea what it means. A search turned up about 1000 more mentions of it than I cared to wade through, and that's ALL they were: mentions.
Likewise the heck is RAW?
Thanks in advance to all who respond with help!
well, that's d20 for you. completely unpredictable.Well, I guess that explains why my fighter can't hit the side of a barn- when he's standing in it... Well, that, and my awful die rolls, lol.
Trying to figure the math on this one out. Fighter (1) could get Plate Armor (AC 18) and Defensive Fighting (+1 to AC) and Warforged get +1 to AC which brings us to AC 20. Artificer (1) gets... what exactly? How are we getting to AC 24 at 2nd level before spell enhancements?Warforged Fighter 1, Artificer 1 has an AC of 24 base at 2nd level.

It's an outlier but it doesnt require any sort of mega stats to perform.
I Think they must mean Artificer 2 for +1 armor, +1 shield.Trying to figure the math on this one out.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!I Think they must mean Artificer 2 for +1 armor, +1 shield.
You might be able to pick up Shield of Faith somewhere too.
