Howdy folks, need some advice on upgrading armor for my Vesk Soldier who just made Level 3. He is currently in Iridishell Basic which gives a +3 +6 with a 2/2 dex/ac and 2 bulk.
He has enough to upgrade right now to Ceremonial Plate, Officer with +6 +8 with 2/2 and 2 bulk or he could wait to make Level 4 and then go to Lashunta Ringwear with an +8 +10 2/2 with 2 bulk. Considering he is a tank/melee build and will now be facing tougher opponents, should I go with the immediate upgrade and then upgrade again in another 2-3 levels or wait one more level for the better protection?

If your vision for this character is to be a tank, then by all means boost your AC early and often. At lower levels, though, it will be hard to get an AC high enough to be relevant. At level 3 it isn't unlikely to face enemy with +14 attack, and maybe +16 at level 4. So if you have 24 AC at lvl 3 you still will get hit half of the time. Look into buying things to give you DR and elemental resistances.
Thanks!

In Society play, I've found that buying new armor every 2-3 levels or so is worthwhile for a character that expects to see frontline combat. Updated armor is the difference between getting hit half the time and three quarters of the time.

Healing serums. Vesk up. BE the armor.
