** 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.

You add your [[Wisdom]] [[Ability Score Modifier|modifier]] to your {{ArmourClass}} when not wearing [[armour]] or [[shields]].
 
== 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}}.
 
== Progression ==
* Learns at level 1: {{Class|Monk}}
 
== 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.
* 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.
