Wait, no, it's only Dodge that does. Okay, changing... And I'd rather have a Periapt of Wisdom than an Amulet of Natural Armor. Both take up the "amulet/periapt/scarab/broach/thingy" slot of the body. If I had rolled one higher for my Dex I would be able to take Dodge/Mobility/Spring Attack, which would be good, but as it stands I can't. Also, Intelligence isn't high enough for Expertise. So, I'm stuck with relying on items, mainly. And just re-adding up my costs... I've got about 14000 left over. Whoops! Can't have that! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Dropping the stone... upping Bracers to +4...Dropping Cloak of Resistance, adding Deep Red Ioun...Swapping Con and Dex scores... All told, AC of 27. Hmm... Replace Blindfight with Dodge (and aim to take the S&F feat Blindsight 5ft when I can)Replace Run with MobilitySigh. Still no Spring Attack. Well, I want to charge as much as I can, so Spring Attack isn't quite what I want, but I don't have the AC to compete in melee, really. I DO have the Tumble skill necessary to nullify any Attacks of Opportunity over 20ft, so Mobility isn't as useful there anyway. No, I think I'll stick with Blindfight and Run. Hmm... At 4th level I'd up my 11 Con to 12 for a higher mod. 8th level, up Wisdom to 17. Same with 12th level. I COULD put those into Dex instead, BUT, I get the AC bonus from Wisdom as well (being a Monk), and it applies in all instances a Dex bonus would along with OTHER times (flat-footed, for example). Okay, dropping Run. Means I can't jump QUITE as far, but whatever. Taking Mantis Leap at 9th level, and Pain Touch* at 12th. Now, creatures Stunned are Nauseated the round following. At level 15 I plan on taking Blindsight, most likely. Still have the 27 AC, though. That could hurt. Well, I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. Brother Cassiel is a "strike down Anarchy" kinda guy anyway, so I think he's more into fighting chaotic humanoids with class levels (see the manacles). If we go up against MONSTERS, hopefully we'll have a meatshield to go first. I'm looking in your directions, Doc and Bif. I chose a non-standard class, so you lot have to make up for it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  We'll just see how the leap-half-a-mile-with-a-flying-kick Monk fares. Hopefully better than <a href="http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=041016" target="_blank">Black Belt</a>.</blockquote>
