Not sure If this is a bug or if I'm just being dumb; but I have a homebrew set of +2 armor for a character of mine that uses Chain Mail as the base. My character has a 14 Dex score that is supposed to be factored in when calculating his AC, I have tried to set the Dex modifyer of the armor to both Max 2 and Full Modifyer respectively yet when the armor is equipped, my armor class only shows up as 18. Unless I'm misunderstanding the rules for AC or I can't do simple math, the characters AC should be 20 right? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

D&D Beyond FoundersChainmail is heavy armor, which doesn't allow the character to gain a bonus to their armor from their dexterity.
Please link your magic item here, so I can take a look for you. :)
