Basic Magic Armor

Source GM Core pg. 229
The most common special armors are suits of armor with some combination of armor potency and resilient runes. The following stat block provides a quick reference for these types of armor.

Armor Alternatives

If you don't want to wear armor, or you're trained in only unarmored defense, you can wear either explorer's clothing or bands of force. Explorer's clothing can be etched with runes just like armor can, so it can provide item bonuses to AC or saves. Bands of force give a +1 item bonus to AC with a Dex modifier cap of +5, and they also grant a bonus to saves. This item can be found on page 286
