[QUOTE="Dr_Ruminahui, post: 5343292, member: 81104"] Yes, he could certainly go that route - but it would be quite challenging to find the points to do that without other, more useful, attributes suffering. As he needs the following stats to go up that feat "tree": - armour proficiency (leather): -- - shield proficiency (light): Str 13 - armour proficiency (hide): Str 13, Con 13 - shield proficiency (heavy): Str 15 - armour specialisation (hide): Con 15 - shield specialisation: Dex 15 [doesn't stack with armour specialisation though] So, to go that route, the wizard needs Str 15, Dex 15, Con 13 if they go shield specialisation, Str 15, Con 15 if they go armour specialisation. Neither is a given wizard likely to have prior to epci without their Int suffering for it. Needing a decent Str AND Con, both which pump the same NAD and are otherwise generally useless for a wizard hurts. That said, the same "build" with a Dragon Sorceror could get a pretty darn decent AC without the nerfing their primary stat... still a huge feat commitment, though... eating up most of your feats if you want to have your high AC by the time you hit paragon.
