[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8023243, member: 7015698"] A Fighter's starting equipment includes the option to get Chainmail and a Shield. You can literally have 18 AC and up to 13 HP at first level as a Fighter. And you get Second Wind AND you can get the Defense Fighting Style to boost that up to a whopping 19! 17 without a shield if you want to grab a heavier weapon. My rolled stat monk has ridiculously good stats, and I have 18 in both DEX and WIS. I still feel like I get hit a lot and for a lot of damage and I don't do a lot while in battle... It doesn't help that the rest of the team is a Paladin, a Warlock and a Barbarian so my major contribution is being the guy who can stealth without using an Invisibility spell, the ability to climb walls well (but the Warlock has a flying broom...) and that I know the Underdark in that particular area of the world becaue of my background. I DID put my ability to cast Silence to good use when an allied NPC spellcaster got mind controlled by an Aboleth! That was neat. Also, in defense of that monk, I'm garbage at using illusions cleverly so that's a way to contribute I'm not super good at. [/QUOTE]
