Looks like the Goliath barbarian at the DDXP

Hmm. not necessarily - but I'm saying this based on my poor vision and poor memory

It says AC 17.
So based 10 + [1/2 level =AC +1] + [hide armor +1 = AC +4] = AC 15 which leaves a +2 difference. If based on Con, that would be +3, if based on Dex, it would only be +1. So something else is in the equation (or the pregen is in error and should be 16 or 18)...

Damn, you're right. Buggy character sheet? Some unknown +1? Maybe Con-1?

I "fixed" my Barbarian with Armor Proficiency (Chain).

This is a total guess (presuming it's _not_ an error in the pregen) maybe it is Cha modifier as a bonus when in light armor -- I believe the 'other' barbarian build uses Cha as the secondary stat, so this might be that build.

His dex and his cha mod are equal, and he's rageblood vigor, the con based on.

Still an unknown.

I *think* one of the devs posted saying that the AC was off one point, suggesting it SHOULD be one higher, which would align well with using Con as an AC stat. FYI.

 

[Stalker0]

Considering what we have seen for other primal characters, I am pretty sure they will use the con as AC for barbs.

Hmm, I don't remember the Shaman getting Con to his AC.. so perhaps the rule doesn't count for all Primal characters.

Which is rather sad for Protector Shaman.
