I have purchased the dragongaurd magical item from the lost mine of phendelver sourcebook for my current campaign but when I add it to my character sheet it doesn't give me a +1 bonus to my AC even when wearing the armour
Can you walk me through the steps you're doing to find this error? I added it to a character of mine, and it appears to work. Here's what I did:
On the Character sheet:
Click "Equipment:"
Click :Manage Equipment"
In the sidebar that pops up, type "Dragonguard" in the filter.
"Dragonguard" shows up. Click the red "Add" button.
Dagonguard now shows up in my characters inventory. Current AC is 11
Click the box to the left of the inventory entry to equip it. This is in the "Active" column. My AC changes from 11 to 16. (Armor is AC 15 with +1 bonus)
Okay so I think I figured it out, I was previously wearing chainmail armour which has an AC of 16 already and I assumed by also wearing this chest plate it would just give me a +1 to my AC but I guess it's just a plus one to it self and it's equal to my chainmail so my total AC won't change is that correct? But if I wear this armour alone my AC is still only 15 is this because my dexterity is -1? And finally I'm a paladin and I chose defence as my fighting style and this also gives my +1 to AC when wearing armour but this is also not added unless wearing my chain mail also

On the Character sheet:
Are you clicking the box to equip the armor?
Are you proficient with medium armor?
Lightning Strike - A rebranded Fire Bolt for Wizards & Sorcerers.
Spirit Bomb - A holy fireball for Clerics, Paladins, & Divine Soul Sorcerers!
Sword Dancer - A Cleric subclass specifically for the Drow goddess Eilistraee.
Quicksilver & The Scarlet Witch - A pair of magical firearms for your Gunslinger or Artificer.
Yes I am
