[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5773766, member: 35909"] Duelist adds Int bonus to Dex bonus for AC, with the amount of Int capped by Duelist class level. But Duelist is a horrible class, and since this is an already existing Monk, I'd be shocked if he happened to have a high int, and even then he'd need BAB +6 and three feats (1 decent, 1 awful, and 1 that would be decent if he were using a reach weapon instead of unarmed). Is buying a pearl of power for the party wizard not possible? What are your monk's mental stats? There are other casters that get mage armor. IIRC Bards do, I know Summoner gets it (and if you did a Synthesist Summoner dip for a few levels you wouldn't even lose any BAB and would gain the ability to pounce, which would obviously be helpful with your flurry of blows), Magus probably does, too... EDIT: If wis is his only positive mental score and you were hoping for a way to get Mage Armor on the Cleric, Inquisitor, or some other wis-based caster's spell list that you were planning on multiclassing into... 1) There's a Sorcerer bloodline that makes them a wis-based caster, I can try to find the name if you want. 2) The [url=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/prestige-classes/other-paizo/n-r/pathfinder-savant]Pathfinder Savant[/url] prestige class allows you to add spells to your class list from other classes' lists. [sblock]Esoteric Magic (Ex) At each class level beyond 1st, the Pathfinder savant chooses a spell from any class’s spell list and thereafter treats it as if it were on the spell list of his base spellcasting classes; if his base class could not normally cast that spell, it is treated as 1 level higher. The spell’s type (arcane or divine) and save DCs function as normal for his base spellcasting class. All other restrictions of his normal spellcasting class apply. This ability does not allow other spellcasters to prepare, cast, or use spell trigger or spell completion items of esoteric spells (such as a sorcerer using a cure light wounds scroll).[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
