[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7913220, member: 6880599"] This is true but you can't stack disadvantage with disadvantage. You can stack disadvantage with shield of faith or Haste, also mirror image and blink Though I am not sure how to translate them into AC values. If you character is in darkness (aka unseen) attacking an opponents who is standing in the light (aka seen) the opponent would gain disadvantage on attacks against you. This can be done with prestidigitation putting out the torch at your end of the hall or the candle at the table on your side of the room. Then, you could move to 3/4 cover behind your flipped table or hall corner and take your potion of speed ... Forge Cleric 6 | Hunter Ranger 7 | Sorcerer or Wizard 5 | Total character level 18 Standard Array: Str 15 | Dex 10 | Con 12 | Int 13 | Wiz 14 | Cha 8 [B]War forged +1 AC[/B] Race Adjusted Stats: Str 15 | Dex 10 | Con 14 | Int 14 | Wiz 14 | Cha 8 Plate (18) shield (+2) = 20 [B]Forge Cleric[/B] lvl6: shield of faith +2, Blessing of the Forge +1 and Soul of the Forge +1 = 22 (24) [B]Hunter Ranger[/B] lvl7: Defensive Fighting Style +1 and Defensive Tactic: Multiattack Defense +4AC= 23 (29) [B]Sorcerer 5[/B]: Shield Spell +5, Blink, Mirror Image = [B][S]>>> AC23 Base and AC34 with spells and temporary effects <<<[/S][/B] 3/4 Cover +5AC [B]>>> AC21 Base and AC39 with spells and temporary effects <<<[/B] Opponent's disadvantage on attack for attacking an unseen target +5AC (effectively) however, disadvantage does not change the 39 total only 20s hit, it does decrease the chance of a 20. Blink adds 50% chance of "full cover" preventing an attack against you at all Mirror image adds about a 1 in 3 chance your attack at the target is at an illusion.... = how to really piss of a GM aka Falling object randomly kill this character. lol [/QUOTE]
