All good armor  there adds up to around 17. IN my homebrew I am working roughly with this.Light armor tops out AC 17Medium AC 18Heavy AC 19 This is to prevent dex being a super stat. Heavy armor is the best but the gap between the two is no so extreme. I leaned a bit more towards 3E as well but added some AD&D armors back in. For example platemail is AC 17 with a +2 dex modifier, halfplate is AC 18 with +1 dex modifer, full plate is AC 19.  Chainmail is AC 15 with a;'la 1E-3E but I might make it AC 16 and treat it as medium armor for proficiency but in effect its heavy armor. A bit more complication than 5E is fine, think I will add a +2 bonus to hit for flanking a'la #E, 4E and Pathfinder. 5E doesn't have iot and the optional rule is advantage which is a bit much IMHO. I'm thinking of a universal bonus similar to 4E and skill focus/expertise will be a flat bonus perhaps +3 over 4E +5. Also avoids the +6 modifier to skills in high level 5E or +10 if I went with 5E expertise (Bard/Rogue class feature). I kind of like the Pathinder 2 bard over the 5E one. The 5E one s great but it feels more like a Beguiler or wizard over Bard.</blockquote>
