just as a question for all dms what is your ruling on unarmored defense and tortles natural armor. I had a charecter concept as a tortle barbarian wih a theoretical ac of 21 at level one (10+4 con+7 natural armor) so how woould you go about this
Rules for AC say you choose on method of calculating it so you choose between the two options you have.
Barbarian = While you aren’t wearing any armor, your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Constitution modifiers. You can use a Shield and still gain this benefit.
Tortle = Your shell provides you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn’t affect this number). You can’t wear light, medium, or heavy armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield’s bonus as normal.
