|summary = You add your [[Wisdom]] [[Ability Score Modifier|modifier]] to your {{ArmourClass}} when not wearing [[armour]] or [[shields]].
| name = Unarmoured Defence
|description = Your reflexes are as effective as any [[armour]]. While not wearing armour, you add your [[Wisdom#Wisdom_Modifier_Chart|Wisdom Modifier]] to your {{ArmourClass}}.
| summary = '''Unarmoured Defence''' is a {{Class|Monk}} passive feature that adds your [[Wisdom]] [[Ability Score Modifier|modifier]] to your {{ArmourClass}} when not wearing [[armour]] or [[shields]].
|class learns at level 1 = Monk
| description = Your reflexes are as effective as any [[armour]]. While not wearing armour, you add your [[Wisdom#Wisdom_Modifier_Chart|Wisdom Modifier]] to your {{ArmourClass}}.
|notes = * This passive is disabled when [[Mage Armour]] is applied. Similarly, it does not stack with [[Barbarian]]'s [[Unarmoured Defence (Barbarian)|Unarmoured Defence]]; instead, only the higher of your Wisdom or Constiution modifier will be added to your AC.
| class learns at level 1 = Monk
* Although the game just says both work "while not wearing armour", this feature does '''not''' appear to work when wearing shields, while the Barbarian version does.
| used by creatures = Gish'ra (caster), Gish'ra (melee), Lir'i'c, Lord Amber's Bodyguard, Mask of Terror, Orpheus, Phase, Strangler Luke, Way of the Profane Ki, Zelrin
| notes = * The normal base {{Armour Class}} is {{Code|10 + [[Dexterity|Dexterity modifier]]}}, while this changes it to {{Code|10 + [[Dexterity|Dexterity modifier]] + [[Wisdom|Wisdom modifier]]}}.
** You will still get bonuses from other sources that don't change your base armour class like +1 AC [[robes]], {{RarityItem|Bracers of Defence}}, {{Cond|Shield of Faith}}, etc.
* [[Helmets]] and [[Gloves]] marked as {{SAI|Light Armour|Light}}, {{SAI|Medium Armour|Medium}} or {{SAI|Heavy Armour}} count as armour, and will prevent Unarmoured Defence from working.
* This does not work while wearing a {{SAI|Shields|Shield}}, unlike its [[Unarmoured Defence (Barbarian)|Barbarian counterpart]].
* {{Cond|Mage Armour}}, {{SAI|Draconic Resilience}}, {{SAI|Unarmoured Defence (Barbarian)}}, {{SAI|Unarmoured Defence (Monk)}} and {{Cond|Barkskin}} all change your base armour class and therefore does not stack.
** If you have multiple of these you will only get the benefit of the one that gives the most {{Armour Class}}.
* Unarmoured Defence can work while in {{SAI|Wild Shape}} as long as you have no shield or armour equipped in any slot before transforming.
** This effect only works on forms with a base {{Armour Class}} of less than this would give.
