[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9611354, member: 2629"] That depends upon the definition of feasible you're using. If you mean "possible"? Sure. Almost anything is possible. It would not be efficient or effective in combat in a way that was on par with other classes, but you can do it. If you mean "easily or conveniently" - No. The rules do not support it right now. Too many abilities of the monk require them to be unarmored. To that end, if a player came to me asking about playing an "armored monk", I'd have the following conversations? 1.) Explain to me what you want this character to do. Attack unarmed and effectively in heavy armor? Move like a monk in heavy armor? Be able to stun with their fists in heavy armor? Have the Shadowmonk abilities in heavy armor? 2.) Would it be easier to apply the ideas from the monk that you want to retain in your character to a class that gets heavy armor? Is this something we can reskin into a fighter, for example? 3.) Would you like us to make a subclass that does what you want? [/QUOTE]
