In the rules it says class unarmored bonuses cannot be stacked (I.E: You cant have the benefit of both Barbarians Unarmored Defense and Monks unarmored defense to get an AC of 10 + dex + const + wisdom modifiers), but does this apply to mage armor?
You can only use one armor class calculation.
Mage Armor states:
The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier.
This is an armor class calculation, or "base armor class" - you can only use one of these and can't stack them.

I'll take the twenty on the left - you guys handle the one on the right!"🔊
Okay, thanks!
No problem!
There are spells that provide bonuses, such as Shield of Faith - they're usually very specific about it being a bonus.
That actually clears a lot up with certain spells like Shield or Shield of Faith
