She gains two ability scores, turning those stats to something like 14/16/13/8/18/8. With VoP ability enhancements, she'd get +4 wis, +2 dex. The wizard can cast mage armor on her or she can take a level of sorcerer and do it herself, so that's easily a given. Let's tally up her AC! +8 Exalted Bonus, +4 Armor Bonus, +1 Natural Armor, +2 Deflection Bonus, +6 Wisdom Bonus, +4 Dexterity Bonus = AC 35, Touch 31, Flat-Footed 31. And on top of that, she has DR 5/magic. Most dragons aren't so blessed with this kind of unkillablilty.I'm not saying VoP Monk is a powerhouse compared to spellcasters and whatnot, goodness no. But in terms of controlling the frontline, a VoP monk can do everything and more that a beefy paladin in a full plate and tower shield wishes she could do, but at double the speed and no armor restrictions and penalties.</blockquote>
