I'm trying to test out the homebrew system and I'm adding in one of my homebrew races. They have the following trait:
Northern Stalwart. Your AC is calculated with your Consitution modifier instead of Dexterity. You also have advantage on checks and saves against the Exhaustion condition.
I believe I have the second half (advantage against Exhaustion checks) figured out, but I can't figure out how to configure the change to AC calculation, is that possible?
Public Mod Note
(GPyromania):
Moved from Bugs & Support to Homebrew & House Rules.
Modifier: Bonus->Subtype: Armor Class->Ability Score: Con
Modifier: Ignore->Subtype: Unarmored Dex AC Bonus
After you save the modifiers, then you must re-save the racial trait and then re-save the entire race. After that it may take up to 20 mins for those changes to get pushed to your character sheet.
Yes, because Barbarian specifically uses 10 + Con + Dex. That’s from the class.
What I told you to do creates an “armor calculation” to 10 + Con + Armor. The Barbarian has its own calculation of 10 + Con + Dex. You can only ever use one calculation at a time, not half & half. Since (10 + Con + 0) < (10 + Con + Dex), it will always default to the higher one.

Thank you very much!Edit: Looks like that didn't quite do it. I'm not sure why, but it looks like it's still calculating AC based on Unarmored Def. + Dex:
Any ideas?
