Non Magical Armor

don't monks need magic gloves and boots to kick and punch magic enemies as well? I recall magic gloves being important on live for naked newb monks

Yes, but he asked about tanking. Monkeys don't tank, they dodge about making a lot of noise and throwing their poop around until they get bored and play dead so they can watch the cleric get ganked.

Yes they do.. Until level 30(or so) when their fists become magic.

Monks seem like a sensitive issue for you, Kaev. :P

Yea, sadly there is no such thing as netted/woven/mesh sandals/boots. I guess frogloks with their flippers have no desire for shoes!

For you elder pvp sorts -- wasn't there something special about magic items and item loot or something early on when that was a thing? Seems to ring a bell but I can't remember one way or another.

Also, rogues can't pick pocket magical anythings-- looking at you, rogues-in-Highkeep-and-Mistmoore.

I was recently bound in Highkeep and disarmed/picked up every FS short sword on the 1st floor while waiting for a rez. Bet those FS farmers were salty when they turned up.

No aggro from disarm?

monks can get crescent armor from dalnir. good lightweight (and free) option.
