I am playing around with a Loxodon Totem Barbarian and I just discovered that Bracers of Defense dont add to the AC, is that because of the Natural Armor or Unarmored Defense? I should think not when the description of the item states that it gives a 2+ bonus when you are not wearing armor or a shield, so the item itself sounds like it is made specifically for classes that do not use armor.
I've checked the way the Bracers of Defense are set-up and they should grant a bonus of +2AC onto any unarmored AC calculation.
It could be acting oddly due to the combination of the Loxodon and Barbarian both providing separate AC calculations.
Please link your character sheet here, so that a moderator can take a look.
Interestingly I just made a test character, and Bracers of Defense is... Kind of working? It's adding +1 to AC instead of +2 when attuned. It appears to be switching from the Loxodon's natural AC to the Barbarian calculation when applying the Bracers.
All right, we switched the way Loxodon's Natural AC is working. I tested it with a Barbarian, Monk, with and without Bracers of Defense. It should work properly in every situation now. Please, keep reporting if that isn't the case. Thanks, everyone.

Did you attune to the Bracers?
I did and I refreshed the page, I tried removing them from the inventory and adding them again aswell. Are you saying this could just be a bug for me?

Ah.... yes, it's coded as a +2 bonus to unarmored AC, so it will boost the Barbarian AC calculation.
I think that the Loxodon AC is coded differently due to not using dex. It uses the same modifier as Tortle AC.
