Hello again, first off, yes I read in my handbook and yes I did search the forums here vvand im still not compleatly sure how to calculate this. So my little kobold Green have no armour to begin with, she does have a "shield" thought,a wook pan. So acording to the phb it says: "If your character wears armour, carries a shield or both, calculate the ac using the rules in chapter5".
That however means to my understanding that Green gets a ac of 10+2=12, when she normally would have 14 since her dex is +4. So am I really understanding it correctly that my kobold gets a lower ac with the shield than without it? Or should it be 14+2=16ac?
Your AC should be 16, (10 base + 4 dex + 2 shield). You could add studded leather armor and your ac would increase by 2 (12 Studded Leather Armor + 4 Dex + 2 shield = 18). Light armor does not have a dex restriction, however medium and heavy do have a max dex modifier or no dex modifiers depending on armor, check the armor table in the PHB. Check your class armor proficiencies and see what would be the best armor options for your class or style of play then add your dex modifier and shield to your AC calculations.
okej thank you ever so kindly :D And other armours will be added over time as Green is a newly escaped slave. She doesnt have more than a wookpan(shield) kitchenknife(dagger) and a bag that she managed to steal while running away from her master. I want her to start out with a disadvantage to show that she have just nothing to her name :) So once she does get somethingit feel so much better ^^
