Fist of the Forest AC and the use of Shields

[Simian]

Apparently I do not loose my constitution AC when holding on to a shield.

Am I abusing a bug?

I feel that this falls along the line of sacred fist using light armor...unless your captain America and you have all the shield bash feats, I suggest against it

We'll have QC look at this.

It says you have to be unarmored, not un-... shielded? I'll leave it to the QCers to determine whether a shield qualifies as armor for the purposes of this and other class features.

It feels like it should, since the whole purpose of the class is to be a bare-handed fighter, but we'll see how they rule on it.

if you have monk levels, yes

if no monk levels i think that is debatable

from pnp

AC Bonus (Ex): While unarmored, you gain a bonus to your Armor Class equal to your Constitution bonus (if any). See the monk class feature (PH40).

Luna put in a fix. Once the fix goes in, you will no longer keep the AC bonus while using a shield.

Kromvar is sad...

But on the bright side, selling bargain +3 heavy and tower shields.
