Ways to increase AC
- Certain clothing and armours grant bonus AC outside of their Base AC. Potent Robe is an example of this.
- Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers have access to the Defense Fighting Style feature, which grants +1 AC if they are wearing armour.
- The Defensive Duellist feat allows a character to spend their Reaction to functionally add their Proficiency Bonus to their AC for a single incoming attack. The character must be wielding a Finesse weapon they are Proficient in. (This is actually implemented by imposing a penalty to the incoming attack roll.)
- A few spells grants bonus AC: Shield of Faith, Shield(Spell), Mirror Image, and Haste. But all of these either don't last long, require concentration, or are otherwise limited in its bonus.
- Spells that decreases AC are even rarer: Slow can do this directly, but is subject to a saving throw; Chromatic Orb: Acid and Melf's Acid Arrow can achieve this via an Acid surface, but can be swiftly negated when the victim leaves the surface.
