Bracers of Defense 5e
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
While wearing these bracers, you gain a +2 bonus to AC if you are wearing no armor and using no shield.
Commentary by Sam West, Twitter: @CrierKobold
+2 AC is no joke. These Bracers can be a fantastic boon to any melee character looking to go in the nude and make it out alive.
Monks and barbarians both can benefit from this bonus while simultaneously benefiting from their unarmored defense traits.
The only other classes in the game that generally want to wear no armor are wizards and sorcerers. Both can benefit from these bracers while using Mage Armor to get a great bump to their AC.
Generally, characters can’t benefit from more than one item per element of their body. You can’t usually wear Bracers of Defense alongside another set of bracers.
