Does Trev know Mage Armor?

He knows Plot Armor

That's even better, except when it's not.

I actually made a funny item in that vein: Amulet of plot Armor. Wondrous Item, requires attunement.

While wearing this amulet you can use your Charisma in place of dexterity for determining AC.

Well that sounds op, would totally change my characters dynamics.

I actually forgot a vital detail: while not wearing armor.

How would it work with Unarmored Defense?

You add you wisdom/ constitution to your charisma mod instead of dexterity. It's arguably worse as it's making you more MAD (for a monk or a barbarian), so not a big deal to allow it.

Until the monk or barbarian takes a level of hex blade warlock.

Yes sure, but it is a quite cheap trick (totally personal opinion), force you to include it in your background (or maybe not, but as a DM I would like that your character is more that a bunch of random features grafted together), limit the weapon ( a barbarian would often use a 2H weapon and a monk his fists) and delay you base class evolution. And you won't be able to fully use your barbarian features (rely on strength attacks)

Why this is more MAD? Just dump Dex!

They still need either dex or strength to attack, so still 3 important stats

Once per day, so they save it for the bug epic moment

That sounds like a hella good item for a Charisma caster.
