[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4939181, member: 19675"] 1) I wouldn't call VoP a trap, but its not for everyone. 2) There are also ways to improve your Natural AC- mostly via magic items. 3) In addition, if you can't convince your party spellcasters to save a few slots for you, take a few levels of Sorcerer yourself...and then take the Ascetic Mage Feat from CompAdv (Sorc/Monk levels stack for certain purposes, sack a spell to give yourself melee bonuses, freely multiclass between the 2 classes). You'll be able to cast your own buffs- and other spells besides- and you'll open up the Sorcerer Heritage Feats (CompArc and others). Of those, going the "Draconic" route includes the fun fun fun Draconic Breath feat (sacrifice an arcane spell to do 2d6/spell level with an AoE breath weapon) but more on point, the feat Draconic Skin, which improves your NAC by +1. And once you have [I]that[/I], you can use any of the things out there that enhance your NAC only if you have NAC to enhance. In addition, Races of the Dragon and Dragon Magic have feats that would enhance your AC or durability in some way or another. Dragon Magic also has Dragontouched, a feat that opens up the Draconic Heritage feats to non-Sorcerers, but it doesn't grant all of the abilities that Draconic Heritage does. [/QUOTE]
