Several times now I have tried to make different races and subclasses that have an unarmored AC that does not use the Dexterity score. However, whenever I try to use the Ignore modifier, it does not ignore the dex bonus. I have followed different forum instructions to a tee, but with no success. This bug needs to be addressed, either by making the modifier work as intended, or making unarmored ACs easier to implement.
I even referenced the Loxodon to see how their AC is set because they also use they have a Natural Armor that doesn't include Dexterity, and the their modifiers are identical to the modifiers I used, so this is a bug.
Last Edit: My apologies, the modifiers finally worked, my only question is why did it take so long to work, even though I had these modifiers from the start?

I can think of a few reasons.
It could be that changed you made to the homebrew took a while to update on the test character.
It could be that you had a better AC using Dexterity (the character sheet automatically uses the best AC calculation if there are multiple).

Content Troubleshooting
When making changes to homebrew, it can take up to 15 minutes for them to get updated on existing characters.
It is because of memory caching on the servers.
