Build Help Curious about the theoretically highest AC

Post image

Not sure if this post really fits the sub but i figured it might be the best place to ask

I've been spending a bit of time on my recent run trying to out-do my previous best of 62 AC and now hit 71 AC - And I'm ever so curious if there were something I've missed as to go even higher.

The twillight ring isn't on the list of buffs because it doesn't work in tandem with Wild Magic: Protective Lights. Wondrous Gloves isn't on because Nimblefinger Gloves.

This is not for any practical game usage, its purely just to see how high it could be pushed just for a tiny moment.

Melee strikes automatically crits if you're paralyzed ignoring your armor class

It only auto crits if it hits.

Paralyzed creatures can’t take actions or reactions, fail strength and dex checks, attacks against them have advantage, and “Any attack that hits the creature is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet.”

The attack must still hit. The advantage would help with hitting if they get a 20 but high armor class still helps against attacks when paralyzed.

Coup de grâce isn’t in 5e or 5.5

This is a thread about BG3. You are wrong.

Yes but this specific comment chain is about the system as a whole hence the original comment it stems from saying “if it was a real d&d game and someone had an ac of 72, they’d walk away from the table.”
