Armor Class and Armor Proficicencies

[Rosenbs25]

Hi so just started 2e and loving it so far...so looking at my character sheet and there is a proficiency for the Armor Class and then under it is a proficiency for each armor category. What does the armor proficiency do to the armor class or just in general

It allows you to add your profiency bonus to your AC, which is rather important.

Well there is 2 sections of proficencies in the Armor Class Box so did not know if I add them both and then put the total in the box...example, I have trained checked in light and then trained in armor class so do I add both of the trained proficencies together?

'Trained in armor class' is not something that exists in the game, I guess what you mean is that your character is trained in unarmored defense. Maybe there is some translation issue?

Anyway no, you don't add proficiencies together, you apply the one that fits with the kind of armor (or lack of) you are wearing.

Its hard to decribe when I cant put a picture of character sheet here...there are 2 sections in the armor class that have a proficiency box to check, one is next to prof box and the other is underneigth the box that has armor categories

I don't really know because I'm only playing online via vtt, and thus I use different character sheets; but if it's the official one, I guess you are supposed to repeat the proficiency tier of the armor you are currently wearing.

The box for proficiency in armour is for you to put the numerical value of your proficiency (ie level + 2/4/6/8). The boxes for individual types of armour are for you to notate what proficiency range you have for those specific armours.

The boxes with specific armors are for you to keep track of your proficiency type with each type of armor. Untrained is no check, then we have t for trained, e for expert, and so on.

The little proficiency boxes next to the armor you're wearing are essentially the same thing, but specifically for the armor you're wearing. So, if you're wearing light armor, then you'd look down to your light armor proficiency (let's say it's trained), and would mark yourself as being trained in your current armor.

The bigger box simply labeled "prof" is for the numerical value associated with that proficiency you just marked down. So, assuming you're proficient with the armor you're wearing (or unarmored defense if you're not wearing armor), then at level 1 you'd put 3 there, because your proficiency bonus is level + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3.
