Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 7693111" data-attributes="member: 7006">My point was just that a druid could get that AC of 16 at level 1.  Medium Armor Proficiency, 50 GP and a DEX of 14.  That's what a druid should have with those things... except for the "no metal armor" rule.  Which is why I thought Barkskin made perfect sense for the druid, to GIVE him that AC 16 via spell since he can't have it via the actual armor.Now how you actually rewrite the spell to make that explicit... that doesn't matter one lick to me.  Whether you just get an AC of 16 straight away, or you say your skin becomes like scale mail and you can add up to 2 points of DEX mod, or that it becomes like chain mail but you aren't allow to add your DEX modifier at all even if you have one, or however else you wish to describe it... that's fine.  At the end of the day, all that matters is that the druid should be able to start with an AC of 16 at level 1 just like a cleric can, and can add shield and cover bonuses to their AC just like a cleric can.  Easy enough.</blockquote>
