Message: <blockquote data-quote="Illithidbix" data-source="post: 6796977" data-attributes="member: 12283">To revisit it and kinda take it apart by what is easily achievable.The base AC is easy enough: Level 20 Barbarian with DEX 20, CON 24 from Primal Might and a Shield = AC: 24(Rapier and Shield Barbarian is a bit of an odd build for a class with so many abilities tied to STR)ORPlate armour with a shield, Defense fighting Style = AC: 21ORHalf Plate armour with a shield, Medium Armour Mastery Feat, Defense Fighting Style, DEX 16 or more = AC:21ORStudded Leather armour with DEX 20 = AC: 17From Spells you get +2 AC from Shield of Faith (1st level Cleric and Paladin spell) and+2 AC from Haste (3rd level wizard and sorcerer spell), both of which are concentration spells.Defensive Duelist Feat and Shield spell lets you use your reaction to increase your AC. DD only increases your AC for a single hit, Shield spell lasts until the start of your next turn, but obviously burns resources.The rest getting to AC:32 comes from pilling on 5 magic items.2 Legendary Items (+3 Armour - doesn't require attunement, Defender - requires attunement)1 Very Rare items (+3 Shield - doesn't require attunement)1 Rare item (Ring of Protection - requires attunement)1 uncommon item (Cloak of Protection - requires attunement)Which probably aren't going to conveniently fall out of the random treasure tables.Personally this is a reason I dislike Magic Item crafting, it takes very unlikely fringe cases and shoves them in the hands of player agency.Admittedly using the guidelines on p. 128 of the DMG crafting Legendary items takes 500,000 gold pieces and 20,000 crafting days (Almost 55 years)So all 5 items is a total of... 1,055,500 gold pieces and almost 116 years worth of combined downtime.AND you need to find all 5 formulas (which are themselves magic items in disguise)Edit confused Defense fighting style misnamed as Protection</blockquote>
