Barbarian Wisdom

(1/2) > >>

Buster:
Can you tell me do Barbarians recieve the monk wisdom bonus to AC?  I remeber seeing this somewhere, but where I cannot recall.

lonnarin:
They don't get any dodge bonuses as a result of their barbarian levels.  If they keep taking ranks of the tumble skill however, every 5 full ranks of that skill give +1 dodge ac bonus.  The Monks' version is different and totally tied to their level, though monk ac can stack with tumble bonus.

Barbarians are about the combat opposite of a monk, and don't gaint wisdom bonuses to AC at all.  They do have Damage Reduction based on level, which is the ability to ignore some damage instead of dodging it.

Chongo:
Correct.

Barbarians do not get a wisdom modifier bonus to their armor class.

Barbarians are the anti-AC typically.

D Blaze:
Barbarians do get Uncanny Dodge, which may be what Buster is referring to.


And as a side note:

Barbarians can never be Lawful
Monks can only be Lawful.

Kindo:

Minor correction. The AC bonus granted for every five ranks in the skill Tumble, are not considered Dodge, but is a different, unique kind of AC which does not collide with any other type of Armour Class. Meaning it stacks perfectly well with any Dodge bonus a character may receive.
