I'm unsure of how to mod this in myself as I tried to but failed, but is there a possibility of a charisma version for warlocks and sorcerers? I know this may go unseen but I'd be very grateful if it could be made or I could be told how to make it myself.
I'm not sure when, but Mage Armor seems to stopped working for me. The description tooltip when I hover on the Mage Armour on the hotbar as a spell is as intended, but the buff description is the same as the vanilla version, and my AC is completely unaffected.
I am unsure if it is because it doesn't work with unarmored defense, or if there is mod conflict, and others have the mod working just fine.
this also breaks item specific spells that act similar such as lunars bulwark, which makes it hard to use on cleric type characters. because of the shield issue.
Previously wizards could use a shield +1 for 21 AC with Mage Armor and +5 Dex Modifier. Now with 20 in both Intelligence and Dexterity its only 20 as shields do not stack with Mage Armor anymore.
I've seen people ask for cha versions for sorcerers and warlocks, but honestly at that point just make it scale with the casting modifier. That way it's an accessible option to all classes, since imo medium and heavy armor is meta for the most part unless you're locked out of using them or have some specific niche magic item outclassing them. It won't necessarily be better than any ordinary option but there's still a lot more choice.
Wouldn't this unbalance draconic sorc who have a base AC13 instead of 10, allowing them to easily start with AC19? Or did you make it drop them down to base AC10?
By default, Mage Armor, Draconic Resilience and Unarmored Defense all apply the same "type" of bonus, and thus do not stack. Otherwise we'd have people stacking those classes to get insane AC with some small dips.
It sounds like all he did was changed the formula for Mage Armor, not the type of AC bonus. He also built it to work in tandem with Monk or Barbarian as a non-stacking benefit. Just like he said on the description.
