I see a lot of debate about mechanical effectiveness of combat feats (example: GWM and Sharpshooter) and so wanted to provide some mined data on AC. Below is Average AC by play tier. Most creature types fall into the 'Most Types' bucket, but two are typically higher AC (constructs + dragons) and two are typically lower (Giants & Oozes.)

Inside you’ll find world-building tools, tips and tricks for creating memorable dungeons and adventures, optional game rules, hundreds of classic D&D magic items,.


The average is weighted by creature type (shown number is an average of averages by creature type.)
CR <1 is excluded because AC is highly variable below CR 1, and generally horde-type threats are irrelevant to the 'vs AC' discussions. I have also excluded the Tarrasque, which has the highest CR/AC of 30/25, respectively.
This data comes from 409 stat blocks found in the monster manual & DM basic rules.
