Message: <blockquote data-quote="webrunner" data-source="post: 4725518" data-attributes="member: 63727">The AC of a shaman is low because the shamans place in the battle is taken by his spirit companion.The AC of the spirit companion is also low, but remember it's a) immune to attacks that aren't just melee or ranged, b) immune to ongoing damage, and c) immune to all attacks below a certain amount of damage and d) if it does, the shaman only take at most 5+1/2 level damage and e) Is immune to effects of terrainIt's a different kind of damage mitigation but it's damage mitigation nonetheless.. next time you play a shaman mentally consider if your AC was higher and you wer ein your spirit companion's place, how much damage you would be taking in comparison?You dont even need line of sight or effect to the targets of spirit attacks.. they're considered from the spirit.  If you're sitting out of the battle, even behind walls, the amount of damage you're going to take is actually going to be pretty darn small, considering....You could keep a shaman in a suitcase and just let him pop his head out to re-summon the companion, in fact..</blockquote>
