Draconic Resilience

Draconic Resilience is a Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer passive feature that raises the Sorcerer's base Armour Class to 13 when not wearing armour.

Description

Dragon-like scales cover parts of your skin. When you aren't wearing armour, your base  Armour Class is 13.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 1: Draconic Bloodline

Used by creatures: Aelis Siryasius, Havkelaag, and Klaus

Notes

• The normal base  Armour Class is 10 + Dexterity modifier, while this changes it to 13 + Dexterity modifier.
  • You will still get bonuses from other sources that don't change your base armour class like +1 AC robes, Bracers of Defence,  Shield of Faith, etc.
• Gloves and Helmets marked as  Light Armour,  Medium Armour or  Heavy Armour count as armour, and will prevent Draconic Resilience from working.
• Draconic Resilience works while wearing a  Shield.
•  Mage Armour,  Draconic Resilience,  Unarmoured Defence (Barbarian),  Unarmoured Defence (Monk) and  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.
• Draconic Resilience can work while in  Wild Shape as long as you have no armour equipped in any slot before transforming.
  • This effect only works on forms with a base  Armour Class of less than 13.
