Description
Matched forearm guards of leather, mithral, or polished bone, etched with protective sigils. While both bracers are worn and attuned, the wearer gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class as long as they wear no armor and use no shield. The bracers are ideal for monks, sorcerers, bare-handed warlocks, and battle wizards relying on Mage Armor or unarmored defense - any class whose AC is calculated without traditional plates or padding. Removing one bracer disables the bonus. They remain among the best non-armor AC boosts in the unattuned to lightly attuned tier.
