Instant Armor

2nd-level conjuration

Casting Time:1 reaction
Range:Self
Components:V, S
Duration:1 minute
Classes: cleric, paladin, ranger, sorcerer

You immediately conjure a suit of armor around yourself. It can resemble any type of armor you wish, but it always provides AC 14 + your Dexterity modifier (maximum 2). If you wish, the armor can be emblazoned with your holy symbol.

While the instant armor exists, it replaces any other armor or protective garments you are wearing. When the instant armor disappears, your existing armor returns.

Instead of calling a suit of armor, you can instead conjure a shield, which replaces any shield you are using.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC for each slot level above 2nd, up to a maximum of +3.
