Duelist (for int to AC) Ninja (for Wis to AC) maybe feral for +6 NA and paragon for a +2 to dex at 3rd. ??? Any ideas? I had thought that there was a class that allowed Cha bonus to AC as well. Abilities only no magic items. J
Kendrik 07-14-06, 03:56 PM	Does your DM allow for the alternate AC progression from Unearthed Arcana? Are we looking at every race? What kind of stats do you have? I asked the same question in my thread 'Stand and Take it'. I came up with 2 lvs of Psi warior, 6 lvs of Fighter, Dimond Mind from CPsi, and a couple lvls fo Knight from PhP II. Alternate AC, Full Sheild Feat Tree, and the Dodge Feat Tree , and the Extream Sheild(though you might want the Tower Sheild). Base +10 Dex 13 (min req.) +1 Tower Sheild +4 Sheild Spec, Focused Sheild +2 Dodge, Combat Dodge (+ 2 other Combat feats), Focused Dodge +4 (At 20th Lvl) Alternate AC +12 Knight (Sheild) +1 Diamond Mind +4 = AC 38 Add in Combat Expert and Imp. Combat Expert for +0 to +18 for AC 38-56. Not including better Dex or magic.

Human Monk 2/ Rogue 8/ Duelist 10 Ac= base of 10 + DEX (say 18) + Wis (say also 18) + 1 point of INT bonus per Dualist class level (again we'll say 18) For a grand total of AC 22 (unarmoured) But wait it gets better....... Using the "fight defensively" action with 5 or more ranks in Tumble +3 Improved Combat Expertise Feat +17 Doge feat +1 Mobility Feat +4 vs Attacks of opportunity Enhanced Mobility (Dualist Class feature) +4 Vs attacks of opportunity Elaborate Parry (Dualist Class feature) +1 per level of Dualist when fighting defensively (Stacks with the normal action of Fighting Defensively) for another +10 So While fighting defensively with Improved Expertise and moving through a threatened area using the dodge feat this character would have an unarmoured AC of 61! This character with magical enhancements could easily close into the AC 100 range. And at 20th level his wealth would be such to make it all the more possible. Heres a guy that could be the ultimate "**** off". He vaults around his opponents chiding them with his quick wits and "Feinting" in combat, using the aid another action to allow his powerhouse companions to cut down the enemies. Tack on a few more feats and you have a guy that is every bit as much the swashbuckler as you could imagine, or even more. P.S +5 Defending Rapier +5 to AC Ring of Protection + 5 +5 to AC Boots of Speed +1 to AC for up to 10 rounds per day Bracers of Armour+8 +8 to AC Gloves of Dexterity +6 +3 to AC Headband of Intellect +6 +3 to AC Manual of Quickness of Action +5 +2 to AC(dexterity) Periapt of Wisdom +6 +3 to AC Tome of Clear Thought +5 +2 to AC(Intelligence) Tome of Understanding+5 +2 to AC(Wisdom) ---------------------------- + 34 to AC Oh yes, lets not forget 5 ability score increases over 20 levels as well. All DEX for a total of 23 Now the Ultimate ubeur Grand total of AC 94 Unarmoured while fighting defensively and moving through a threatened area.

And yeah it's rokugan material so it's possible that most DMs won't allow this :rolleyes:
