[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 3203818, member: 12032"] Yep, the bonus is large, but it comes with a pretty large restriction. I think the real measure is if anyone who uses the rule as written (which I think the FAQ is supporting) has seen any kind of problem here. I haven't. I've never seen a non-monk character which uses a monk's belt. I've not ever heard stories of it. If there were a class that was a wisdom-based caster who had an arcane failure chance _then_ it would be broken really quickly. But there isn't one. A "battledancer belt" would be _clearly_ broken (adds CHR to AC with the same restriction) as every sorc in the world would have one. So rather than look at the bonus, look at the question "is it broken _in play_ for the cost?" I claim the answer is no. The other options are generally better (full plate/shield). Mark [/QUOTE]
