What armor can druids wear? Is there a way to get a decent AC?

[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6388305, member: 6778044"] Well, I said it was based on deflection, not necessarily the only input, and that was specifically describing AC granted by armor. But it's implied in the way the rules work. Either you roll high enough to penetrate the armor (AC) or you don't. Penetrate includes a bludgeoning attack that is hard enough to damage through the armor. It doesn't matter if you're wearing padded armor or full plate, nor does it matter what kind of attack is used. Nor do specific types of armor reduce damage against specific types of attacks. If an armor's AC was based off of absorbing damage, then it would absorb damage. A long sword deals the same range of damage regardless of what type of armor is worn. An AC bonus granted by Dexterity is based on avoiding the blow, or moving in a way that turns what would have been a hit into a near miss. Randy [/QUOTE]
