Hey guys, well I was in a conversation with my rise of the runelords group about AC and such, and I mentioned the defense bonus form unearthed arcana, but also said it needed to be modified.
SO here is my super quick idea on how to incorporate a defense bonus on the various Pathfidner base classes, I have left out he occult classes as I am 100% ignorant about them and have no idea what any of them do, are, or are capable of let alone have any idea of their names, well except the kineticist.
Level A B C D
1st +1 +3 +4 +6
2nd +1 +3 +4 +6
3rd +2 +4 +5 +7
4th +2 +4 +5 +7
5th +2 +4 +5 +7
6th +3 +5 +6 +8
7th +3 +5 +6 +8
8th +3 +5 +6 +8
9th +4 +6 +7 +9
10th +4 +6 +7 +9
11th +4 +6 +7 +9
12th +5 +7 +8 +10
13th +5 +7 +8 +10
14th +5 +7 +8 +10
15th +6 +8 +9 +11
16th +6 +8 +9 +11
17th +6 +8 +9 +11
18th +7 +9 +10 +12
19th +7 +9 +10 +12
20th +7 +9 +10 +12
Use column A for arcanist, sorcerer, summoner, cleric, druid, oracle, wizard, shaman, witch.
Use column B for bard, monk, or rogue, inquisitor, magus, bloodrager, skald, or warpriest.
Use column C for barbarian, ranger, gunslinger, paladin, slayer, hunter, or investigator.
Use column D for fighter, cavalier, or brawler, swashbuckler.
Level A B C D
1st +0 +0 +1
2nd +0 +0 +1
3rd +0 +1 +1
4th +1 +1 +2
5th +1 +1 +2
6th +1 +2 +2
7th +1 +2 +2
8th +2 +2 +3
9th +2 +3 +3
10th +2 +3 +3
Use Column A for Prestige Classes that have no or light armor proficiency.
Use Column B for Prestige Classes that have medium proficiency
Use Column C for Prestige Classes that have heavy armor proficiency
The above number is added as a untyped bonus to the character's base armor class, this stacks with any armor bonus or natural bonus to the character's AC.
A character gains half this amount to apply as a bonus to his or her Touch AC.
How it works Lets say a 20th level fighter plays in a game with this alternate rules. he gains a +12 bonus to his armor bonus and a +6 bonus to his touch AC
But, wait that fighter took a heavy armor PrC at level 10 for all 10 levels, so lets take a peek at the chart he gets +9 for being a fighter and +6 for being in the PrC, a total of 15, as you can see. my quick idea really does not work so much.
for PrCs.. so I am thinking that I should have a different one for prestige classes, but eh i guess thats what I get for a quick and dirty idea.
Did a different table to prestige classes
