Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Stadia patch 7 bug: mage armor not working on Barbarian

I am playing patch 7 on Stadia, and mage armor is not buffing the barbarians AC at all (barbarian is completely unarmored). Shield of faith will boost armor class, and I've tried taking that off to see if I cannot stack mage armor and shield of faith, but it still doesn't work. The race is shield dwarf if that helps at all. Happy to post screenshot if that would be helpful

The game is working as intended; Mage Armor should not stack with Barbarian's Unarmored Defense. Evidently Larian implemented Unarmored Defense in a different way than other armor calculations, so that mage armor (correctly) doesn't apply to the former but (incorrectly) does apply to the latter.

It's the tooltip that is wrong: it should say that "Unarmored Defense sets your unarmored AC to a minimum of 10+Con+Dex" Presumably your Barbarian's Unarmored AC is already equal or higher than 13+Dex from a Con of 16 (what Mage Armor would give), so you don't see any change.

For that matter, the correct implementation of Mage Armor is: "Mage Armor sets your unarmored AC to minimum of 13+Dex" not "Mage Armor adds 3 to your AC."

Aaaah, got it - thanks, that cleared this up for me!
