[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8924691, member: 7030563"] AC will be 19 with half plate and a shield (with disadvantage) or 18 with breastplate and a shield and no disadvantage. If I have expertise in stealth, and a 16 dex, the disadvantage is not a big deal your ability score will be high enough to be good at it. Not great at it, but good. With a breastplate and no disadvantage I would be great at it. The thing with a Goblin is you get disengage as a bonus action through numble escape, and on this build I have booming blade as well. So yes I am giving up 1 point of AC vs where it would be with heavy plate armor but I am going to be attacked less. I also plan to make enemies pay for attacking me to - take damage from moving from Booming Blade to even make an attack against me, then take damage from armor of agathys and wrath of the storm if you hit me. We do not use variant encumbrance, so my limit is 120lbs. I do get close to that frequently with 8 strength characters, but usually it is managable. But Athletics is not offered in either my background or my class, so I would need a feat to get it (like I am doing with stealth) and unlike stealth it is not something that is related to goblin abilities specifically. That is the other feat I am thinking about. Wheter I take skill expert or Fey Touched I will be using the half-ASI to boost Wisdom. [/QUOTE]
