How do you narrate missed attacks on mixed dex-armor users? /u/TreeofNormal DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Normally, if all of your ac comes from, say, armor, you could just say “The arrow bounces off your plate”. But what if part of ac comes from dex and part comes from armor? How do you decide whether to narrate the attack as being dodged or being deflected by armor?

To add to the mix, how do you decide, say, when the attack is deflected by a shield?

Some interesting corner cases:

  • Bladesinger AC
  • Magical items that grant AC bonuses
  • Ceremony spell
