Light Armor proficiency gets AC 14.

Polearm Proficiency to wield a Halherd, Glaive, or Pike. Take Polearm Master and Sentinel feats so you can smack anyone who runs up to you and stop them from getting into melee range.

Pretty gimmicky but kind of funny too. Works with Sorcerer and Warlock as well.

Alternatively, now every class a human plays is one feat away from medium armor and shield proficiency. You could go for a traditional wizard or sorcerer and be rocking 19AC with half plate and a shield.

Still, given Human Fighter is the most popular combo ever I hope Larian thinks of something better than this or else there's no reason to play a human fighter.

Feels pointless.

The Mage Armor spell with a 14 Dex will get you 15 AC, already better than what Light Armor will give you.

Wizards also only have 1d6 of health so the front lines with a polearm is the LAST place they want to be.

Warlocks already have proficiency with light armor as a class feature and sorcerers are in the same boat as wizards. If it's a draconic sorcerer then you don't even need mage armor because it is automatically 13+dex modifier, which again would be higher than what light armor is giving.
