Heya,
The moment you use DS you gain AC. if you move to another area, the ac drops by 5. tried it multiple time, and even after 10 seconds of going DS - if you move area, you lose the AC.
Can this be looked please?
Class: Druid/Monk
Buffs used: Barkskin+Owls

Are you a monk?

oh, forgot to mention it. Yes I am.

You don't get monk a.c. when in dragonshape. So I'm guessing you have +2 wis items and then owls on top. And it's just the owls A.C. getting removed

It seems odd that the base WIS AC would be removed immediately, but the AC from soft WIS bonuses would disappear only on transition. It means essentially that the druid can get extra AC simply by waiting to shift until they're in the map they want to be fighting the boss in.

Also, Owl's Insight should be getting them up past +8 WIS before they're able to get DS.

Hey, this is a bug. and not yet addressed by any of the DMs...
After a small tour @ the endless wastes I found that not only DS lose AC when they move from one area to the other, but it also happens every single time. Thus, after few areas your AC might get to 10-20...

Does it also stack if you type -save? And do you get the AC back properly after unshifting?

It might be the reapplication of the shape that is causing the problem.

Okay after more testings - it does happen when you type -save. You do get your AC back after unshifting and the most important discovery - it only happens if you caste Owl's Insight on yourself.

I think I know what this is. Is your ability modifier less than 10 without Owl's insight and greater than 10 with it?

Nope. I have 11 without owls and 16 with it.

Hey, is someone investigating it?

Probably not.
