Hello everyone, not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but I'm presently trying to change one of my player's subclass features in DNDBeyond's homebrew creator. They are a Battlesmith and I'm trying to make it so their Steel Defender's AC shows as the sum of 10 + the player's int mod + the player's Proficiency Bonus. When I got to look at the Steel Defenders programmed stats however it looks super complicated and says "<strong>Armor Class:</strong> {{((classlevel/14)@roundup*2+13)@min:2}}". I frankly have no idea what this means and I'm terrified to change anything. Does someone know the proper command to make this work?
That snippet you looked at is a fancy calculation that accounts for the level 15 Improved Defender feature which gives a +2 bonus to the Defender’s AC @ 15th level. If you want that feature to still work properly at 15th level this becomes a slight little bit more complicated, but not too bad. If you want it to simply be 10++ like you described it’s muu—uuch simpler than all that.
For a simple 10+ Int mod + PB, you should be able to use this:

If you want the Improved Defender feature to function lemme know here and I’ll try to take a crack at it for you.
