I’m creating a magic item for a monk in my campaign. One which grants a default +1 bonus to AC— however, after a set number of successful, consecutive, iterative attacks: the item becomes a +3 AC item— for a short period of time, before reverting back. This raises the issue of not being able to input a situational bonus to AC— unless anyone has found a way that I’m simply not proficient in? Any direction would be appreciated; thanks in advance!
As I can't think of any items currently in existence that has a conditional property that can be activated and reflected on a DDB character sheet, I don't think it's possible.
You can make a second item with the situational bonus active and swap them out as the conditions are met, or just notate it in the item's description and manually keep track of it by adding the modifier to your AC when it activates.

Thanks for your input! I had feared that was the case, however— all-in-all not a terrible solution.
Thank you again!
