Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player\u2019s character has AC so high enemies \u2018don\u2019t bother attacking\u2019 Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have created some impressive builds, including a tank with an impressively high armor class of 27. In the weeks since the game released, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have been accomplishing some impressive things with their characters. From recreating rock bands to Monks that deal hundreds of points of damage every turn, players are clearly having fun with the game\u2019s character creator and various customization features that allow for infinite build possibilities. One build in particular makes a character so hard to hit that, according to the poster, enemies don\u2019t even try. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 build gives character an armor class of 27 Reddit user xXDANG3RDANXx shared how they accomplished a whopping AC 27. While they don\u2019t provide specifics, such as the character\u2019s class or stats, the breakdown makes it pretty clear what\u2019s happening. 18 of the character\u2019s AC comes from the heavy armor they\u2019re wearing. Having armor equipped also triggers the class passive Defence, adding another point. The character\u2019s shield, shoes, gloves, and cloak also contribute to their armor class. On top of all the equipment, the character is also benefiting from two buffs: the Cleric and Paladin spell Shield of Faith and the Cleric\u2019s Warding Bond. The former adds +2 to AC, while the latter binds two allies together, giving them damage resistance, plus buffs to AC and saving throws. In exchange, if one takes damage, the other is hurt as well. While Shield of Faith requires concentration, Warding Bond lasts until the party long rests. Though it\u2019s possible to get your AC even higher \u2013 one commenter claims to have Lae\u2019zel at AC 30 without buffs \u2013 xXDANG3RDANXx says they don\u2019t see the point in trying. As they joke in the post\u2019s title, it seems enemies will often avoid targeting characters who are that hard to hit. They don\u2019t go into detail about this experience, but commenters seem to be experiencing the same issue, with enemies exclusively going after weaker characters. One also pointed out a similar issue was present in Larian Studios\u2019 previous game, Divinity: Original Sin 2. The fact that enemies don\u2019t bother attacking such a beefy tank makes an AC this high unnecessary. Still, it\u2019s an impressive stat and shows how much Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have been able to push the game\u2019s mechanics \u2013 whether that\u2019s for combat power or humorous reasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
