This would convey the function that Barkskin is actually fulfilling more clearly, I think.

Yes, I think you're right. Though any change that actually had the numbers given actually adding up to 16 would be an improvement over now, as you say that particular option clearly shows what benefit is being gained from the spell.


Quick update on the issue with the values on the AC tooltip not always adding up to 16 when Barkskin is taking effect. I reported this to Larian support who confirmed it was a known issue and was intended to be fixed for the full release, though they didn't say what the tooltip would display instead.
