[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9534671, member: 7030563"] One of my PCs is out of attunement slots. She is a multiclassed Dragonborn Fey Wanderer Ranger 6/Monk 1/Bard 1. She is currently wearing a ring of protection +1 and using other attunement slots for a Wand of Fear and a Staff of Striking. We also have some Bracers of Defense no one is using and I am debating swapping the ring for the Bracers. FWIW the whole party has either a ring or cloak of protection, so it is not like another member will use the ring if I don't. Her stats are: S8 D16 C12 W18 I8 CH13 In play she is about one third casting, one third ranged and one third melee. She has the Thrown Weapon Fighting style feat and as a house rule every PC has Two Weapon Fighting. So for a lot of fights if she isn't using a spell or her Wand, she starts off casting Hunter's Mark and throwing things (she has a +2 Javelin, +1 Ywkla, +1 Hand Axe, Dagger of Venom and some non-magic axes and daggers). When she is throwing she usually gets 3 attacks by using an axe for one attack and nicking a dagger for another. Then the following round she will often throw another volley of 3 and then move in for an unarmed strike as a bonus action and pull out her staff to melee on the third round. She goes unarmored and has the shield spell through origin feat, so she currently has an AC of 18 with the ring and 23 with Shield. I am debating whether it would be better to attune to the Bracers to up her AC by 1 but lose the save bonus. One of my concerns is maintaining concentration on Summon Fey after I get it at 11th level. Also at Ranger 8 (8/1/1) she is taking a half-feat (Dragonfear) and boosting Charisma, so her base AC will be stuck at 17 until her next Wisdom ASI at level 14. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
