Good call. Still don't know why you're bothering with more than a little INT. All it gets you is a license not to RP 'dumb.'Turns out the party is an illusion wizard, a healy druid, and a bard. The wizard and the druid are novice players to TTRPG as a whole. So I'm going to drop the enabling plan and just be defendery.
You could do better in the AC department, and Heavy Armor Mastery is really nice at low level, FWTW. But, fine, stealthy - if you /really/ want stealthy, go for a DEX build, there are plenty of nice finesse weapons. OTOH, if you go heavy armor, and the DM is nice enough to mostly use group stealth checks, you won't generally be holding the party back.Ultimately this means no real change to my build or my planned feat progression (although I'm going to move resilient: wisdom to 8 from 14). Once I can afford a breastplate I'll be at 18 AC. Combined with THP from the bard's Heroism and I feel pretty tanky.
