    Default New Barbarian question (AC)

    Hello all, so I am having a great time with my barb (lvl 3) and I was wondering about armor choices. I ran across a breastplate (medium armor) and then got my hands on a +1 darkweave armor. The medium armor has 2 more ac but do I lose anything for being in medium armor? Such as tumble or something weird? Thanks for the help.

    I wouldn't worry about AC on a barb, under your feats list check which armour type your proficient with (should be medium armour I think) and wear that type. I play WF so I cant tell you what bonuses you should have on it though.

    Medium armor is fine on a barb. So pick whichever gives you most AC.

    A vet will instead look for robes with guards at low level, but for a new player healing pots can be expensive and trying to keep a decent AC is actually not such a bad idea. At some point however you'll notice that you're pretty much always getting hit, and that's when you can stop worrying about AC and try to focus on the effects on your armor slot.
