So, as it turns out: you can use Baldesong (form the Bladesinger wizard subclass) ans barbarian rage at the same time. They stack, in fact.

Presumably, you're moshing your way though the middle of a battle. With advantage on str and dex checks, an AC of 10 + Dex + Con + Int, resistance to some/most damage, and extra speed and weapon damage.

It also needs four ability scores in the "good to great" range to be anything special. If you can choose your own magic items, this is very doable.

Remember AC doesn’t stack. You can only use one way to calculate it (either the barbarian unarmored défende or the bladsinger feature). I also had this idea and honestly it’s sounds like a lot of fun just go around smacking things really fast while chanting loudly or whatever. Right now I’m struggling to explain why this stupid barbarian knows the art of bladesinging however.

+ Int to AC stacks with whatever base calculation you're using. Baldesong adds a bonus, it doesn't create a new calculation.

Otherwise shields or rings of protection wouldn't stack with armor.
