Baldur's Gate 3 · Fighter fighting style

Defence

Defence adds +1 Armour Class while the Fighter is wearing armour.

How it works

Defence is a level-one Fighter Fighting Style choice. The listed Armour Class bonus applies while wearing armour. The supplied passage does not specify a rest-based limit or further equipment condition for this effect.

Read the supporting references

Selected Fighter fighting styles and Battle Master progression, Warlock invocations and Pact Boons, and Ranger Favoured Enemy and Natural Explorer choices. Effects and explicit conditions are drawn from the supplied passages; comparative effectiveness is not assessed. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
