10-20-05, 03:48 PM I doubt it. But bracers and such im sure you can

10-20-05, 03:49 PM You can always use Bracers of Armor.

Aside from that, I don't remember any such creature. Usually the higher AC monk prestige classes just grant an improvement to your AC outright, instead of allowing you to use arrow

10-20-05, 03:54 PM You could always endeavour to write such a feat. Kinda powerful though. Feels like a Faerūn or Eberron type thing.

10-20-05, 05:41 PM We have created such a feat in the past ..in another game.

(Basically, a Monk + Paladin build, based on the Asectic Knight feat from CAdv and Sacred Fist PrC of CDivine. I felt appropriate to have such an ability, with that character concept.)

But I was hoping for something more 'official'. I figured if it did exist - most likely it would be from Eberron ..or Faerun.

10-20-05, 08:57 PM Shou Disciple, a PrC from FR: Unapproachable East. I think it can flurry in light armour, and wield any weapon to boot.

10-20-05, 09:00 PM If you're willing to go with Mongoose's Quintessential Monk series, they have a set of "woven armor robes" there. It's not much, but it's something.

I take it you have your eye on some form of magical armor, though?

10-21-05, 12:46 AM Actually, truth be told .. I've been formulizing an: "Enlightened Spellsword Dagger Fist Monk"

It truly represents what everyone hates about PrCs and dipping: 3 levels of the Enlightened Fist, 3 Spellsword and 9 or so of the Daggerspell Mage PrC.

Well, the 'big' feature of spellsword (besides being able to store any spell in your weapon as a move action 3x per day) is that you ignore the spell failure on armor.

A monk isn't compatible with armor ..so the Spellsword ability is pretty useless, but I wanted to see if perhaps there was some way to get a benefit from it.
