Diplomatic Immunity: Almost Ready Maybe?

[Bront]

Yes, the levels stack--there is something about the four winds in one of these threads, and it was really pretty long, so I'd like to find it if possible instead of rewrite it--could someone with the Search feature help out? I think one of the four groups was called Zephyrids.

Oh, by the way--where is the Misc +4 coming for Whinoa? The Monk's Belt gives you the +1 AC from Monk level 3 but not the Wisdom to AC ability--and if this isn't correct (and I think I am correct), I officially houserule it to say that it is.

The monk AC bonus ability includes adding Wisdom to AC, so that is indeed a houserule.

If the character is not a monk, she gains the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk. This AC bonus functions just like the monk’s AC bonus.

If that's the case, I may have to reexamine if she'd have the belt or not, which I thought was a better RP solution than bracers of AC. I may still keep them (She has a hefty Dex), though that drops her AC by a bit.

It functions like the Monk's AC Bonus ability, which (as it still should be) was a separate ability from the Wisdom to AC ability back in 3.0. I know that all of my classes specifically state them as separate abilities. If the designers meant to give Wisdom to AC with the Monk's Belt, then they are seriously dumber than I thought (the ability is rampantly overpowered for a magic item)--more likely, they didn't realise the implications of changing the Monk class feature on the Monk's Belt.

RA, so you’re saying that a character with one "monkish" level is the one who really benefits from the Monk's Belt and not character with zero "monkish" levels?

 

[Bront]

Ok, if that's how you rule it, no big deal.

Trying to think of a good replacement for bracers that aren't... well... bracers. I'm envisioning her wearing something either loose, breazy, and bracers don't quite fit into that... though they aren't that unreasonable.

Btw, I do have a clothing question in the other thread about her. She want's something nymphy without being armor (Perhaps a shimersilk dress that's just a dress and not armor?) I guess she could wear a shimersilk dress now that she doesn't have to worry about the monks belt, but the no armor thing sort of made sense for her personality (Armor is too confining of her skin, hard to feel the breaze).

Nope, my ruling just stops it from being an absolute must-buy item for all unarmoured characters It still gives a non-monk a huge number of benefits for its cost.

Get a Glimmergown or a Light Shimmersilk Shift (light shimmersilk doesn't give any armour benefits or detriments at all)

Cool

If I were to buy a Shimersilk Dress, any reason that can't be like one of those micro-fiber dress thingys where part of the fabric is see-through/airaited? How about a shift?

RA, if you say so! I just find it shockingly funny you can have the two conversations about the same magic item in less than two hours with two different players. (granted I think the conversation you had with me was Bront's fault.)

It probably doesn’t help you any but maybe RA can tell you about the firefly dress.

I've been told about it before (Isn't that the Glimmorgown? Or is that something more specific to Glamour?)
