[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6973828, member: 5834"] Take the fighter you just made, factor in that his magic armor doesn't take an attunement slot, then factor in the [i]shield[/i] spell. That 26 goes to a 31 where as Mr. Sorcerer is 4 points behind at 27. The sorcerer had to use all his attunement slots on defensive magic items to come close to equalling the fighter. Let's take away the magic. Now your sorcerer has a 21 if he has a 16 dex and using the [i]shield[/i] spell. While your Eldritch Night has a 21 without [i]sheild[/i] and 26 with [i]shield[/i]. There's really no comparison. A wizard/sorcerer isn't going to spend all his attunement slots on defensive magic items. I've seen plenty of paladins and fighters focus on defense. A paladin with plate, shield, defensive style, and [i]shield of faith[/i] has a 23. Cleric can do the same thing. A fighter gets to focus stat bonuses on STr and Con. Whereas a dex-focused sorcerer would have to focus on Dex and Cha with Con a third to keep up. He's going to have less hit points and a lower AC more often. Are you sure armor requires attunement?
