Here ya go, the video showing you how. I apologise if I'm not too clear. But happy to help further if you want. Everything I show here is covered in Sposta's FAQ in the first post of this thread, so always worth checking that for future stuff you want to make.
Thank you so much my friend. That was very informative :)
I had gotten almost every step correct except for the "Is Granted" boxes for each of the stances. The subtext for those wasn't clear in my dumb-dumb brain.
Thank you both!
As I always endeavor to improve this FAQ, and make updates to it periodically, how can I make that section clearer and easier to understand for people?
IamSposta, you need to add anchors to your different sections:
That way, you and other people can link to each section, or bullet point in your lists. The HTML code for the link emoji is 🔗 (type that, don't copy it). The <a> tag will need both the ID and the HREF.
Check the updates I did to this to see what I'm talking about.

Awesome! Thanks for that, I’ll have to do that soon. Good looking out!

I wish there was a way to use the ddb anchor image. Go to any source and mouse over a section header and a paperclip image appears. It's the same thing that you can right click to get the link directly to that section. But their function is buried deep in their code and I couldn't find it with the 3 minutes I looked for it in the source code.

Hey, I got a question. Would those anchors even work if their destination is inside a spoiler? Like, if I anchored individual questions in the FAQs, would the anchors take the user directly to the linked question, or would the spoiler mess that up?
Starting at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with light armor and gain a suit of alchemical armor— a magic item that only you can attune to. While you are attuned to it and wearing it, it grants you resistance to force damage and you can use the armor as a spellcasting focus by extending one of your hands, so long as that hand is free.
The armor is light armor and provides an AC of 11 + your Intelligence modifier. It weighs 8 pounds.
Basically a piece of armor that doesn't have DEX in it's calculation at all.
My howto:
RARITY: Whatever you want. The more rare, the further up in your inventory it'll show up
BASE ITEM TYPE: Item
MAGIC ITEM TYPE: Wondrous Item
REQUIRES ATTUNEMENT: Checked
ATTUNEMENT DESCRIPTION: by a Wizard in the Arcane Tradition of Invention
We have to make this an Item instead of Armor because Armor adds DEX to your AC no matter what
Modifiers:
MODIFIER TYPE:Resistance
MODIFIER SUBTYPE: Force
MODIFIER TYPE: Set
MODIFIER SUBTYPE: AC Max Dex Modifier
FIXED VALUE: 0
MODIFIER TYPE: Bonus
MODIFIER SUBTYPE: Armor Class
FIXED VALUE: 1
MODIFIER TYPE: Bonus
MODIFIER SUBTYPE: Armor Class
PRIMARY STAT: INT
Resistance Force is there because of the text. It is not important for what this thread is about
First you have to set the AC Max DEX Modifier to 0
Second you have to set the base AC for the item. Dndbeyond already says your AC is 10 plus stuff. For this magic item we want 11 + stuff. Subtract 10 from what you want the new base to be and use that number here as a Bonus to Armor Class. In this case we're adding 1
Third you need to add a bonus to your AC using your INT modifier.
Equip and attune this item and BAM, your AC is now 11 + your INT modifier.
But that’s not actually a piece of armor at all. It’s a wondrous item.
True. But it's the only way I've found to replicate a piece of armor that does not use DEX in it's AC calculation.
At the very least it's my investigation into why we can't use armor as a base item if someone wants to pull this off. Base item armor will always add DEX.

Yeah, but the more jank workarounds I add to this FAQ, the dirtier I feel. Between the foux tooltips, and that modifier that applies an alternate ability for use with every magic weapon, and a few other things…. I wanted this to be more about how to actually accomplish things, not how to make fake workarounds to pretend to accomplish stuff. I’ll have to think on it.

Yeah, I’m familiar, I’ve seen ‘em. But that’s a chain, not a paperclip, so I thought you were talking about something different.

I'm surprised you don't have a homebrew equipment entry for changing the DEX bonus on armor to another ability modifier.
