However, they are limited to using only "natural" armours.So, at the outset, your best bet is probably hide armour and a heavy wooden shield - this gives the best AC that can be managed in the PHB alone.From there, your best bet is probably to save for dragonhide plate (DMG p.220), and then get this enhanced same as any other armour. (But note: dragonhide plate is heavy armour, so you would need to spend a feat to gain proficiency, and that's probably not worth the expenditure.) Add to that the usual array of amulet of natural armour, ring of protection and a magical shield, and the job is mostly done.But, one more note: the above is just a discussion about Armour Class, but the truth is that that is only one (fairly small) aspect of protecting your character. I suspect an optimiser would advocate investing your funds elsewhere, and largely ignoring AC anyway.</blockquote>
