The Bracers of Defense AC 3 give the wearer a Base AC of 3. As for all bracers of defense, if the character is already wearing armor with a better AC, this item will have no effect. In Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn they have a weight of 1 lbs, though the description reads 2. This is fixed to match the description in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
Description
| “ | Grinning Glen, the Knight of Fools, wore these bracers while competing in jousting tourneys. With his skill, charm, and bravado -- no man other than he would joust without armor -- he soon became a favorite to the ladies that watched the events. Too much of a favorite it would seem, for one afternoon he was caught frolicking with a knight's betrothed. A challenge was issued, but in his rush Glen forget to don his bracers. Glen died with a confused grin on his face as the knight's sword struck him, never knowing his own folly. | ” |
