[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9173326, member: 6790260"] You're (presumably) wearing armor before you wildshape. Why does it stop applying when you wild shape? Isn't that unfairly taking away the player's AC bonus acquired through taking a level in a different class? I just don't see how this isn't exactly the same situation. There's a feature. The player meets the requirements before wild shape. You take it away because, while shifted, the armor "isn't there." How is this not a "sorry, you can't do this because it doesn't make sense to me" situation? It doesn't make sense that armor should apply while you're in wild shape, so it doesn't apply--even though you really are wearing armor, it just "merges" into your form. Further, isn't "if you get some barding, you can do that thing" [I]exactly[/I] "you need to invest some resources into making it work"? Because that's literally what's happening here. You're telling the player they need to spend resources (money, in this case) to acquire a form of armor that works with their wild shape feature. How is this even the tiniest bit different from what I described? [/QUOTE]
