Which I suppose it's the way it should be. I haven't read the adventure, so I don't know if there were suggestions on how to handle Strahd, but the Sunsword is really powerful against him. Paladin hit him twice with sunsword, and two high-level smites. 'The Epic Level Handbook wasnt that bad, guys. They were introduced in Out of the Abyss. I didn't use the -5 to hit, because I wasn't sure how hard to hit he was (not that hard, it seemed). Spell gems are a wondrous item made up of certain rare gems, which correspond to the level of spell they can hold (for example, a diamond spell gem can store one 9th level spell). Fighter (me) action surged for 4 attacks, two were crits, so I got to make a 5th attack (GWM). Cleric hit him with a higher level guiding bolt. The sorcerer tried to paralyze him with the holy symbol of ravenkind, where he used his legendary save. We were all under "protection from evil", our paladin had the Sunsword. Maybe the DM thought Strahd was more powerful on paper, because he just faced us head on. We had already destroyed the heart from a distance, while fending off some vampire spawns. We met Strahd in the tower where the "heart" was. Apart from a TPK in Death House, we steam-rolled through the whole module. PS:When I was young I completely ignored the non stacking rules.I think the DM was just tired of the campaign. I can adjust the loot to help chars achieve a negative ac. Since their are quite a few limitations on stacking, it can be hard to get a negative AC if you don't have an 18 dex. I should put this into excel just to see whats possible and whats not. +1,+2,+3 bracers.Ĭloaks of displacement work with armor but other cloaks do not that's weird.Ĭan anyone offer a reason why this is so?ĭo bracers count as armor for the stacking rule? They'd be really effective if they do not.īoots of speed probably shouldn't work with see cloaks. I may house rule special magical bracers that are meant to stack i.e. except for saves I think.Ĭloaks do not stack except with studded/leather/padded or robes.īracers of AC are used instead of armors AC use lowest. I might argue that helm of brilliance wouldn't stack if your magic armor came with a helm. This assumes you can wear both a protection cloak and displacement cloak, which is a pretty generous reading of the rules. Thus, in armor, you could get your AC down to -25 (no Helm of Brilliance), and with bracers, to -27. Helm of Brilliance gives +2 (probably assuming you aren't wearing armor that has a helm) Invulnerability potion gives 2 (fighter classes only)Ĭloak of Displacement gives +2, and has no restrictions about wearing armor Ioun Stone, dusty rose, gives +1 protection. However, there are lots of other items that reduce armor class.īoots of Speed give +2, assuming you can use their power to quickly move about. But, as per cloaks, nobody I've ever played with noticed this rule.īracers of Defense specifically say they work in conjunction with other items, such as rings or cloaks. Ring of protection does not work with magical armor according to DMG, and you can't get the benefits of more than one, either. Using the assumption that bracers = armor, and letting everything else stack, armor class can get amazingly low, in a magic-rich game, especially using Unearthed Arcana.Ĭloak of protection only works with non-magical leather armor, according to the DMG rules, but I've never seen anyone use that rule.
