[QUOTE="dragonfriend7738, post: 5866958, member: 6691820"] Just skimming over the info there, I see nothing wrong with taking this PrC with Monk- in fact, many, if not all, the abilities and class features would benifit a monk in some way or another. I think the Thief that's in the title there is just for fluff. Well, if the selling point on that feat for you is whether or not you can use it in conjunction with a Monk's Belt, you should probably remember that the Belt is a magic item, and you wouldn't be able to use it with the Vow of Poverty anyway. :shrug: Also, magic items enhance your normal attributes, so if a feat would permanently change an attribute, the magic item would enhance that feat-altered attribute. Just saying. Your question was fine, really. Mostly because a DM that's not familiar with the rules of voluntary poverty would have to ask the same question and have to come up with (hopefully) the same results. The real problem comes in when you get someone who, for whatever reason, is going to interpret the rules differently- which every DM has the right to do. So, your best bet would probably be to, out of character, announce your intentions to the DM and ask if there would be any adverse ramifications to your character due to your vow. [/QUOTE]
