I think you forgat about the magic items (not including the books) when you were talking about highest AC for a normi Even with the simpelest magic items you can still gain a +7 AC and probably more if you look through all the magical goods

Hey friend, research the rules a bit before you make videos. A Beast Barbarian's reaction d8 to AC doesn't have a listed duration, so you can just stack infinite AC.

@@franciszekbalcerowski1814 no sadly not. this ac is only for this hit after it resets. think of it as you try to dodge the attack.

@@franciszekbalcerowski1814 It literaly says in the video that you can't stack effects with the same name. At least keep a bit of attention to the video before comenting

I think the main thing here is the same Magic stacking that prevents the Sentinels from working. As a DM I would rule you could only uses each of the manuals once each, for a total of +2 to each stat if you got all 6 manuals.

30 dex, pass without a trace, expertise, stroke of luck. Easy 52 and you dont even need to roll.

@@Dnno4563 Is the 52 after using Reliable Talent? Is that why you don't have to roll?

@@Dnno4563 Pfft. That's not hing, try a more sizeable +156 for a maximum stealth roll of 176. All it requires is a Ranger(10)/Rogue(1)/Warlock(6) multiclass at level 20 (the where you put the other levels doesn't matter). With 20 dex and the 13+ wis and cha scores, boons of luck, undetectability, some ability score improvements, a stone of good luck, a ioun stone of mastery, a 14th level bard for inspiration, 6th level wild magic sorcerer for bend luck, a circle of dreams druid for hearth of moonlight and shadow, a 20 int 7+ level artificer for flash of genius and guidance, someone wearing the lost crown of besilmer, and all of those allies with a boon of fate. If you properly stack up all of the things like pass without a trace and hide in plain sight, etc. You can do some truly obscene stealth rolls.

Evasion go brr but only for dex saves

For that, there are a few classes, races or items that can give you the ability to take no damage if you suceed and half if you fail. I can't remember them off the top of my head and i may be mixing some stuff up (like homonculous servant) but I do know that it happens in dnd.

Shield Master would let you get Evasion in any class. I don't think there is a way to fully negate other saving throw effects, though (unless it's a cantrip. Then just pass the save).

Ye, if rotated 90 degrees in either direction it will always turn into an infinity symbol. The only way you could argue this doesn't work like this is to assume it is a 3d object on a 2d plane, and have it rotate onto it's side where it looks like a block, thus making it a 1.

​@@Dnno4563 Implying plate is good enough or that you can stack a +3 plate on adamantine when it is qualified as its own magical item. Here is the build btw. Bladesinging warforged wizard. Base 10 AC + 1 AC warforged + 5 dex + 5 int +5 shield + 3 mage armor. 29 AC no items, no concentration. Next take the defender sword, a single legendary that isn't consumable. 32 AC. Only 7 AC away from that 39 Next you do something else that doesn't require items. You prep Glyph of Warding if you don't want the outside help. But here is something much more cost effective in spell slots. Fun fact Concentration isn't limited by crossing realms, it keeps going as long as the caster concentrates on that spell. Pay two level 1 clerics to concentrate on the spells shield of faith and Protection from evil and good on you. This will give you an effective AC of 39 for 10 minutes. Finally cast Tenser's transformation on yourself and teleport right on in. Congrats, you're scarier than the fighter to enemies with little work on your part. Fun fact protection from evil and good protects from everything listed, not just one thing you pick. It's unlikely that anything won't be those things if they're hitting you at 34 AC. If you want to be nastier just glyph of warding tensers and then haste yourself on top of it for 36 AC. A few more fun facts. If you pick a rapier defender and wield a staff of power in the other hand that becomes 38 AC while expanding the spells you can cast. Then finally a watchful helm +1 AC for an effective AC of 44 due to protection from good and evil. Of course you can just glyph of warding and dip cleric a bit and just do it on your own.

Besides, it's not like it actively tries to avoid you; it isn't even sentient. That makes the situation so much more entertaining to me. It's not even getting any part of its AC from DEX; it's just its natural resilience.

@@sparrowthesparrow I thought so at first too; but then I realized that even cloth has 11 AC, meaning they somehow just naturally debuff the clothes they wear. Granted, an entire village "fortified" by paper would be like Heaven to all the fire-loving murderhobos out there and would definitely result in comedic gold. ^_^

@@CrimKazanawa people don’t test knives against loose paper. People often times hold the paper in place so that the blade doesn’t simply just push it out of the way.

Monks still age, they just don't suffer the physical effects. The body should eventually still fail, though.

druid circle of the moon is the way to go. At 20th level they can always be wildshaped as an elemental, and those don't age according to what research I could find on the matter, but just in case, druids live 10 times longer than that.

@@DragonRider6566 Yes

I don't get this, but ok

@@humain1025 so basically there's an anime, Bofuri, where the main character plays a vr video game where she does what I described in the original comment, then through a series of wacky hijinks, becomes an indestructible angel demon that can turn into godzillla or a mech and also gets a new costume every episode that is literally never used in place of her signature armor.

The basic idea of the series is an adaptive defense, which she accidentally broke by being nigh unkillable. Then she finds that, since she has NO attack, biting an enemy is the only way to harm them, and starts gaining abilities from this. Eventually this spirals out of control rapidly. Now an adaptive defense character WOULD be interesting, but it needs SOME limits to actually be used, otherwise, it gets boring. Even in the show, most of the interest is seeing everything react to her rather than the other way around, and even then, it's a bit much at points.

Joke on you i am the dm.

@Adam moore this should have never happened the DMG Errata says; Combining Game Effects (p. 252). This is a new subsection at the end of the “Combat” section" Different game features can affect a target at the same time. But when two or more game features have the same name, only the effects of one of them-the most potent one-apply while the durations of the effects overlap. For example, if a target is ignited by a fire elemental’s Fire Form trait, the ongoing fire damage doesn’t increase if the burning target is subjected to that trait again. Game features include spells, class features, feats, racial traits, monster abilities, and magic items. See the related rule in the “Combining Magical Effects” section of chapter 10 in the Player’s Handbook

Definitely a lot of multiclass and work for a little bit of rp. The turtle- same way to get a familiar (if you can a giant turtle would be easier but doubt they will agree) and try potion of growth or enlarge spell. You want to try to get it to at least huge. Permanent potion of flight will give it the flying effects for you and friends to ride town to town without getting attacked by ground creatures. I'd talk to the dm about the enlarge spell/potion and see about letting them stack and maybe shorten the time it lasts. If you can, find a way for it to cast thorn whip and eldritch blast for flavor.
