the title says most of it.
I am playing a monk whose primary drive is to be as hard to hurt as possible. in addition to that, i have a bfc (trip) build.
i guess most of you would call the optimization level of my table medium or low, though we mostly want to stay away from the crazy rocket tag or 5d chess that comes with high op.
So, I'm level 16, and would like a second prestige class (first one is shintao) simply for the +2 to all saving throws.
of course, i would also want it to do something else useful.
if there is a choice, i prefer abilities that fit with my build. greater damage or attack powers are not my goal (i already talked with my dm to trade away the unarmed damage increase from prc in exchange for keeping spell resistance increase, as part of my build concept), and so are other unrelated abilities like wild shape.
Can you guys recommend some good prestige class that i could take?
I've been trying my google-fu, but with no avail. there was a list of all prestige classes, with links, that i remember looking at one year ago, but the page no longer exhist. As for this forum, any search on the lines of "monk guide" gave me results on why exactly monks are bad (yes, i know it pretty well, having played one from level 1 to 16), why they are not so bad as it looks like (which i also know well), and, most importantly, how you can do something that outperforms the monk in his core attributes with different classes (which completely misses the point; monk is a jack-of-all-trades, and i like it that way)
