Arcana domain cleric and way of astral self monk, my ac is currently 18 because of no base armor 10, dex bonus +1, unarmored defense +4, Cloak of protection +1, and Shield +2. Boom 18, but I don't think I should have unarmored defense bonus because of the shield, apparently it's not calculating down when I do equip the shield. Am I tripping out and missing something or is this is just how this combination works?
Not only is the martial arts strikes not showing up, the astral self arms show up as a die lower than they should be (d4s instead of d6s at 5th level for each). I'm beginning to think that multiclassing INTO monk is becoming the issue.
You are using a shield which specifically interferes with Martial Arts. It isn’t programmed to interfere with Unarmored Defense because bot the Monk and Barbarian use the same coding for that, they haven’t separated them yet.
You still have the shield equipped. You can't use your martial arts with a shield. The only incorrect thing I can spot (besides unarmored defense for reasons Sposta mentioned) is that the astral arms say 1d4+mod instead of 1+mod.
If you unequip the shield do the astral arms, unarmed strikes, and deflect missile attack fix themselves?

Please post a link to your character so one of the mods can hopefully help?

You said your martial Arts dice are wrong. Do you have 5 levels in monk?

That makes sense but that's very disappointing honestly.
Yeah 5 levels in each, starting with cleric going into monk.

Okay, I had to reload the page after unequipping the shield but that looks like it fixed itself. Thank you!
