[QUOTE="doosler, post: 4020161, member: 59185"] Is it possible to combine weapon finesse with flurry of blows in order to get a Dex bonus to multiple attacks with light weapons? If so, it seems like a monk with high Dex/Wis would not only have a very high AC, but he would also strike quite often (albeit, not for quite as much damage as a fighter using a heavy and a light weapon and getting a Str bonus to damage). But a monk with 18 Dex and 18 Wis who took a Vow of Poverty would start off with an AC of 22. By 3rd level he could take Weapon Finesse and have 2 attacks per round at +4 each. That seems pretty effective. By contrast, a monk with 18 Str and 18 Wis with Vow of Poverty would start off with an AC of 18. But he would start off with 2 attacks per round at +2 each, plus he would do an extra 4 points of damage with each blow. Both seem like good choices, assuming you can roll high enough for your ability scores. [/QUOTE]
