[QUOTE="VikingLegion, post: 9310308, member: 6794627"] I'm leaning towards a Dragonborn monk/ Way of the Ascendant Dragon. I still haven't given up totally on the small dip into a caster just yet. Would it be completely silly to take 1 level of Sorcerer/Draconic Bloodline? Right off the start I'd get a +3 AC boost from the scales (which works wonderfully with an unarmored monk). Plus I'd get access to the Shield spell for even higher reaction AC. Yes, I'd have to budget for a 13 in Charisma, which really sucks, but I'd start with something like: Str 10 Int 8 Con 12 Dex 14 Wis 15 Cha 13 I'd use the +2 and +1 on Wis/Dex or Dex/Wis then use a half-feat at level 4 to shore up whichever one is an odd number OR split the +1/+1 ASI if I have two odd scores, I haven't decided yet. I might even dip further into Sorcerer by doing a 17Mk/3Sorc split, which would open up 2nd level spells like Blur or Mirror Image - which would be really fun for a front-row melee martial artist. [I]OR[/I] scrap that whole idea, stay with the undiluted Dragonborn Monk of the Ascendant Dragon, begin play with an odd number in Constitution, and just take the Dragon Hide feat from Xanathar's to achieve mostly the same thing, minus the fun spells. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
