D20:Armor Class Creature Statistic

====Armor Class====
The Armor Class line gives the creature?s AC for normal combat and includes a parenthetical mention of the modifiers contributing to it (usually size, Dexterity, and natural armor). The creature?s touch and flat-footed ACs follow the combat-ready AC.
A creature?s armor proficiencies (if it has any) depend on its type, but in general a creature is automatically proficient with any kind of armor it is described as wearing (light, medium, or heavy), and with all lighter kinds of armor.
