[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 2281327, member: 9990"] Monk/Druid kicks and allows the druid to retain the +wis to AC when wildshaped. At lower levels a monk with Produced flame can tag an opponents for additional fire damage and can also deal with being unarmed. My advice is go Monk1/DruidX, as the PC can fill any roll the party needs, from healer to blaster to buffer to summoner to melee front lines to wizard killer. Too bad I killed that PC, I would have liked to have tested out the possibilities. Now I have a PC that is Monk1/Cleric9 and the abilities are great. The AC can easily be boosted with Magic Vestment and others to match what you might be missing from magic armor and a shield. We are in a lower magic/lower tech setting so an unarmed cleric works well. With the amount of touch spells available, it makes the dual class worth it while still retaining mobility to deliver them. I thought about taking another level of monk, but since my PC's dex=10 the Combat Reflexes feat wouldn't help too much. I would also have added more to the Dex, as right now she has AC=19 - not exceptional for 10th level. However, with Divine Power, Righteous Might and Bull's Str, Str goes from 12 to 26, BAB jumps from 6 to 10, taking an unarmed strike from +7/+2 (flurry +5/+5/+0) to +18/+13 (flurry +16/+16/+11). The AC is maintained even though the PC is now enlarged and has reach (again, combat reflexes would have worked well with the reach). On top of this, the PC can turn undead with alarming effectiveness. As far as game play, a cleric not dressed in full plate may have their faith questioned until they can show they don't need to rely on such worldly possessions - they are protected by faith, baby, faith.
