[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 3385899, member: 9191"] My point isn't that you can't get some type of armor bonus, but that bonus from armor is probably going to be higher than the armor bonus from item + Wisdom mod until you get enough money to afford bonuses to Wisdom and non armor + to Armor. Say a 10th level rogue. Maybe on the outside is going to have a 12 wisdom and perhaps a 22 Dex. He is better off with a +2 Mithral Chain shirt (9k gold) (AC 22) than with the monk's belt (13k gold) (AC 17). Even a Cleric with a wisdom of 22 and a Dex of 12 is better off with normal full plate (AC 19) versus the Monk's Belt (AC 17) At higher levels, getting significant bonuses to all stats is when the monk's belt begins to leave armor behind. I am just as satisfied going to armor, as it permits some additional defenses that the monk's belt does not and if you do it right, a similar AC. Oh and Hey Pyrex good to see you. [/QUOTE]
