[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1477377, member: 5777"] SRD: Buckler: This small metal shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can use a bow or crossbow without penalty while carrying it. You can also use your shield arm to wield a weapon (whether you are using an off-hand weapon or using your off hand to help wield a two-handed weapon), but you take a –1 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. This penalty stacks with those that may apply for fighting with your off hand and for fighting with two weapons. In any case, if you use a weapon in your off hand, you don’t get the buckler’s AC bonus for the rest of the round. So the barb wants a -1 penalty to attack and no ac bonus? Good job barb. Monks can have plenty of spotlight time, just like anyone else. The campaign needs to be as such to allow it, just like anyone else. They have all kinds of good abilities, and trade in a bit of one sort of power for another. You dont go making a mage who has a 3 int and power attacks all of the time, they arent designed for it. In the same way you shouldnt be whining when the barbarian, whos only job is to do lots of damage, is doing more than you. Figure out what your job is supposed to be and do it, dont complain if you try to fit the square peg into the round hole. [/QUOTE]
