Hey, everyone! I'm playing around with tweaking some races to fit into a custom setting for a game, and I was wondering what people think about the balance of allowing a race an alternate AC calculation as a feature. Specifically, 10 + Dex + Cha when wearing no armor. I realize that, for an official race, that might be a little useless, but since I'm tailoring it for something specific, that doesn't concern me too much. I'm mostly wondering if it's too strong. Thanks!
I'm trying to set up a homebrew page for this race, but I can't seem to find an option to alter the AC calculation in the modifiers options. Any suggestions?

Modifier: Bonus->Subtype: Unarmored Armor Class->Ability Score: Cha
That’s it. After you save the modifier you must re-save the entire homebrewed Race using the main “SAVE CHANGES” button under Basic Information. It can then take up to 20 minutes for those changes to push to the character sheet unless you adjust the character’s level to trigger a push.

D&D Beyond FoundersIt's the equivalent of the monk/barbarian unarmored defense class feature, so doesn't seem unreasonable in terms of power level.
