::::RYANZKIE, you're arguing against the rulebook itself, which quite literally states that these are different ways of calculating AC, and that every character only uses ONE formula, and not several formulas mashed together. | |||
::::I think you're tripped by the word "adds", but that doesn't mean you're free to add a CON modifier to any barbarian's AC, just because he doesn't wear armour. The concept is "base AC + DEX modifier", and different situations define "base AC" differently. When wearing armour, base AC = the AC from the armour. When using Mage Armour, base AC = 13. When Using Draconic Resilience, base AC = 13. When unamoured and a barbarian, base AC = 10 + CON modifier. When unamoured and a monk, base AC = 10 + WIS modifier. So for the barbarian and the monk this base AC is variable and depends on your stats, that's why it says "add CON/WIS modifier", but that doesn't mean you're free to add that to the other formulas. Every case has its definition of base AC and there's no cross pollination, the rulebook says ''"you choose which one to use"''.
