Greeting!

I am really enjoying Early Access (though I will probably be writing several more feedback threads).

This one, however, is devoted to Shadowheart's armor class. In update #9 you said that Shadowheart is the only NPC to die more than the PC. There's a good reason for that: she is a character who will rely on medium armor and has a negative dex modifier. This means that before level 4 she has -3 armor class compared to where she could (and arguably should be). And even if we give her +1 dex, she's still at -2 where she could/should be. This is particularly frustrating because that means she either needs to be a very vulnerable melee fighter, rely on her spell slots for damage (which run out fast and limit her utility), or become a sacred flame bot (which is pretty ineffective). The only other option is giving her heavy armor proficiency at level 4, which doesn't really help until the chainmail almost at the end of EA and kind of flies in the face of my idea of a trickery cleric.

Please give her at least a 13 dex, so we can make her optimal by level 4.

Thank you!

What is the problem you are solving? Does your proposed change solve the problem? Is your change feasible? What else will be affected by your change? Will your change impact revenue? Does your change align with the goals and strategies of the organizations (Larian, WotC)?
