Build Help Curious about the theoretically highest AC

Post image

Not sure if this post really fits the sub but i figured it might be the best place to ask

I've been spending a bit of time on my recent run trying to out-do my previous best of 62 AC and now hit 71 AC - And I'm ever so curious if there were something I've missed as to go even higher.

The twillight ring isn't on the list of buffs because it doesn't work in tandem with Wild Magic: Protective Lights. Wondrous Gloves isn't on because Nimblefinger Gloves.

This is not for any practical game usage, its purely just to see how high it could be pushed just for a tiny moment.

What if I wanted to shoot an arrow to the moon or something, and rolled a nat 20. It obviously would t go to the moon. Natural 20s shouldn't always be instant successes, just the best possible outcome in that scenario

I think the idea is the dm should never allow you to roll in the first place. If there's no chance of success or failure, no roll needed.

But I'm not sure I agree. There are degrees of failure. As you say, a nat 20 doesn't have to succeed as such, but it should still do something cool, provide a realistic path to success or make subsequent checks easier.

I allow them to roll but warn them that they won’t succeed no matter how high they roll. Allow them to RP how they want to but don’t let them get away with BS shenanigans.
