Message: <blockquote data-quote="Caliban" data-source="post: 430974" data-attributes="member: 284">It really depends on the character.  I've got a 10th level elven wizard who starts at an AC of 21 (Dex +2, Bracers +5, Amulet of Natural Armor +2, Ring of protection +2) and goes up to AC 33 after casting Shield and Haste.   He doesn't get near the fighting if he can help it though.  He prefers to do his fighting from 100+ feet away. I've also got a 7th level dwarven fighter/wizard who's AC starts at 24 or 25 (Dex +1, +1 plate +9, +1 shield +3,  and +1 Dodge) and goes all the way up to 39 through the use of Expertise, Fighting Defensively, and casting shield, or 43 if he's moving past someone (because of the Mobility feat).   If he's fighting giants he get's another +4 to AC.  By the time he hit's 14th level I expect his average AC to increase about 7 points (due to Boots of Speed and enhancements on his shield and armor). I've also got a 4th level druid who's AC is 16 (+2 Leather, +2 Dex, +2 ring of Protection) and it isn't likely to get much better, other than through the use of the Barkskin spell and Wildshape.</blockquote>
