[QUOTE="monboesen, post: 2057528, member: 4647"] But then you are a) wearing a armor with possible check penalties (obviously not in leather armor) and b) not getting any of that armor bonus in wildshaped form unless you want to slap another +3 modifier on that price (and then you would still have to deal with armor check penalties. IMO also when wildshaped). And then theres the issue of how attractive a periapt of wisdom suddenly is for the druid. AC, Will save and spell power, Yes please. I'll rather keep it at no wis bonus from the monks belt. At least not in my game. Should that turn out to be a house rule I'll still keep it. Why should a monks belt be better for a non-monk at all ? Isn't it intended for monks. Another avenue of horrible abuse is the monks belt and the various shifter classes. You wil find people arguing that they can turn into horrible monster x from some book. Said monster is large and has a gazillion tentacle attacks of 1d4 damage. But with the belt they can do unarmed damage as 5th level monk right (1d8). And as they are now large the damage is increased to 2d6. [/QUOTE]
