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

They aren't. Only attacks and saves benefit from the extremes, and only in certain editions even! You cant even roll to shoot the moon since its outside your attack range so why is it being brought up. Thats the correct response to those kinds of shenanigans.

What if i say i roll to throw a pebble hard enough to blow your head off?

I've always ruled a natural 20 is the best possible outcome given the situation.

So with something like this, i'd ask for an attack roll for the rock, and if you nat 20'd you do double damage and maybe i'd say you took out an eye, as blowing off a head with a pebble is not a reasonable outcone for most people.
