Heavy plated lvl 17 warforged is AC 22. Add on a +3 shield and their ACs go to 26 and 27. This is the warforged as written.A composite plate warforged at 17 will be 21 (13 + 2 Dex + 6 prof), while a human in +3 Half-plate will be 20 (15 + 2 Dex + 3 magic). Darkwood Core warforged at 17 will be at 22 (11 + 5 Dex + 6 prof) while a human in +3 studded leather will be at 20 (12 + 5 Dex +3 magic). So, as it stands, Darkwood Core gives the best AC of any Integrated Protection option (I miss read, it gives the same as Heavy Plating), yet I see most people complaining about Heavy Plating (which requires either being a paladin or fighter or a certain cleric, multiclassing into one of them, or burning 1-2 feats to get heavy armor proficiency).</blockquote>
