monk provides free movement, and a good AC (-1) and is light weight. Basically it stops people from hitting you as often.
It is true, but if you are other classes such as a palidin, use the balduran plate or the red dragon (non-magical).
Since you are a monk though, you normally can't wear armour at all, so this is the best way to go if you are sick of people hitting you with their weapons. |
