Bonus to ac

[guardianfallenangel]

Normally you get dex bonus to ac right, and then with monk you get wisdom. If you go with chaos monk from U.A. you can also take leves in battle dancer from dragon magizine, then you could take the duelist prc and get int to ac.... what i'm wondering is, are there any classes or prcs that add str. or con. to ac?? just me wondering

Not satisfied with only having four ability scores added to your defense?

I've seen some house rules that allow very high Con modifiers to grant DR, but not an AC bonus.

Deepwarden from Races of Stone lets you replace your dex bonus with your con bonus...but it is dwarf only

actually i think it's kinda crazy being able to add 4 out of 6 abilities to ac. but....
we were just wondering if you could somehow manage to have all 6 added to the same character, just for kicks, nothing like haveing a character that can never be hit

You know what's even better than having all 6 added to AC? Having some of them added multiple times, so you don't need to pump up all 6. Try a Nymph Battledancer with the Mystic Wanderer PrC. You get a Charisma bonus to AC, a Deflection bonus equal to your Charisma bonus to AC, and a Sacred bonus equal to your Charisma bonus to AC.

What books are these classes from, for quick reference?

Battledancer is Dragon Compendium. Mystic Wanderer is Magic of Faerun. Both require you not to wear any armour, whereas Nymph gives you the bonus regardless. Nereid from Stormwrack has much less LA than Nymph and grants the same bonus, though if they destroy your shawl, you die.

Ah. Pity, I don't have the Dragon Compendium... eh, people say that the things that come out of the zines tend to be unbalanced anyway.

Battledancer was never in a 3E Dragon magazine, and it's fairly balanced vis-a-vis the monk.
