[QUOTE="Wolfix, post: 1513428, member: 18815"] A friend of mine just started a GnG game last week, and I'm playing a monk (lvl 1, human). I found out that my monk has a great bonus to the defense roll (because of high dex & wis, and in later lvls the monk's ac bonus), but his soak sucks because of a con of 11 and no armor. Now don't get me wrong, I'm definately not complaining (I created the char myself), but I was wondering what tips you guys could give me to improve soak. In non-magical combat my bonus to defense seems better than if it was a bonus to soak (both reduce damage taken, but the defense bonus also adds to miss chance), but spells are going to hurt. Fortunately, magic is rare in that world :). But anyway, I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas other than increasing con at lvl4 or taking the toughness feat. [/QUOTE]
