The other part is that players want to blitz the biggest thing in the room like it's their first day in prison, don't leave a rearguard, and abandon the squishies. If you want to live with a low AC, either the DM or the players are going to have to break the meta. | |

We did talk as a party about planning combats and whatnot so hopefully future fights will go better | |
| May 26, 2018 at 21:38 | comment | added | V2Blast | The Medium Armor Master feat doesn't give armor proficiency; it has medium armor proficiency as a prequisite. It just gets rid of disadvantage on Stealth checks, and increases the max Dex bonus on medium armor from 2 to 3. You're thinking of the Moderately Armored feat, which gives proficiency in medium armor and shields and increases Strength or Dex score by 1. | |
| May 26, 2018 at 21:38 | comment | added | THOR'S AWAY | I asked this question because I wanted to learn more about combat tactics and how others handled already being low AC, hence wanting to exclude "getting better armor" as a solution. I do plan on grabbing life cleric at level 7, but that is still a while away. | |
