So i plan on becoming a warforged cleric of the forge, so that I may become a vessel for my lord and savior to carry out his holy wrath upon those dirty, spider worshiping knife ears, and the foul abominations, called demons, crawling around in the underdark. How am i gonna optimize my AC so that I become the wall against which darkness breaks? Also note this will be for the Out of the Abyss campaign setting, with 1 additional PC.
Shit you right. Forgot i read it somewhere else that wasn't giving the original content. Still would like any help with any rulings or build strategies i may have overlooked

Well with 14 DEX you can start with 17AC + shield. Or you can have 18AC + shield regardless of DEX, but with stealth disadvantage.
Either way, that is 18-20 AC at level 1 with little to no ability dependence. And you can +1 your weapon.
The problem is forge domain features require armor and warforged can't wear any. Until they change (or otherwise make official) the rule so warforged armored modes count as wearing armor for class features, you might be better off in war or tempest domains.
Can probably create some wiggle room with DM on definition of armor, seeing as how his body itself is pretty much armor, he's usually chill about that stuff. Plus shield of faith brings it up to 22 sacrificing stealth

Juggernaut doesn't give a bonus to AC.
