[QUOTE="Catzalcoatl, post: 6718216, member: 6802163"] I'm still interested in the AC equation for wild shaped characters. I mean how would the AC occur with: 1) Monk's unarmed defense? 2) Barbarian's unarmed defense? 3) Mage Armor, which sets your AC to a specific level? If I had to guess... 1) The AC would be either the beast's AC OR (10+the beast's Dex+the character's Wis). 2) The AC would be either the beast's AC OR (10+the beast's Dex+the beast's Con). 3) The AC would be either the beast's AC OR (13+the beast's Dex). ...picking whichever was higher in both cases. The last case is applicable even in campaigns where the GM doesn't allow for multi-classing as both Sorcerers and Wizards are capable of both effects on their own through Mage Armor and Polymorph; Warlocks are capable using the Eldritch Invocations of Armor of Shadows and Sculptor of Flesh; and Druids similarly using Wild Shape or Polymorph and Barkskin. Opinions? Anyone know what the official word is? [/QUOTE]
