Totem Druid getting Monk AC upon transition from one zone to another

Post by Aryuananime » Wed Jun 29, 2022 6:10 pm

Description
==========

Totem Druids gain Monk AC whenever they change area when in their Totem forms. They seem to keep this AC until they leave the totem form. When they return to the totem form, they have their normal AC until transitioning to another zone once more.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
In my case, have a Totem Druid 17/Monk 1, an Eagle (Nobility) shape in this case. In my case, the Monk AC Bonus is a +6 bonus due to my 22 Wisdom score. Transition to another zone, and let a creature attack you while flat footed.

Expected result
-----------------------
The creature should only be able to hit me on a result of 12 or better, as Monk AC should not be added to a Totem Druid when in their totemic shape.

Actual result
-------------------
The creature is only able to hit my on a result of 18 or better, which is my FF AC + Monk bonus AC. If I leave totem shape and return to it, the creature is able to hit my FF once more.

Misc Notes
----------------
I have sacrificed the character because honestly it kinda felt dirty to have 65-70 AC without even really trying by accident, and it felt like it cheapened some of her accomplishments.
