Raise AC of Animal Companions

Post by Laurian » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:21 am

Due to the change of how buffing summons works, the AC of Animal Companions is now much lower. While other summons base stats got increased, Animal Companions are unchanged. Even when a sequencer is applied their AC is now lower by 7-11 (with Haste) and they die fast in PVE.
Therefore I propose a raise of their base Armor Class.

As -guard is already avaiable for summons, and as we've rejected suggestions similar to this in the past, this is also rejected.

This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
