[QUOTE="italianranma, post: 2444891, member: 15788"] I'm working on a class based Defense bonus by level, sort of like what D20 Modern looks like. It works in my game (or I should say I HOPE it will work) because armor provides DR, and also lowers your defense. I worked it out so most melee characters would have a pretty smooth progression of their Defense so that by level 20 they'd have the same AC (except I call it 'Defense' not 'AC') as they would with +5 Best armor they can wear. So Fighters ended up with a 14 Defense bonus, Paladins, Rangers, Barbarians ended up with 12, Rogues, Bards, and Druids with 10, Clerics, Sorcercers with 8, and wizards with 6. I also have two other rules for Defense. Shields (assuming you're proficient with them) give a defense bonus based on character level. The basic formula is +1 Defense every 4 levels. Also I made the feat Combat Expertise work sorta like Power Attack: if you are using a shield, then you get +2 Defense for every point by which you lower your BAB. If anyone is interested in what the rest of the rules look like, just send me an email and I'll forward you the .docs when they're finished. [/QUOTE]
