Hi, I got a question for those playing Pathfinder regularily. The AC bonus you get from the Monk / Unchained Monk class is worded as:
When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC and his CMD . In addition , a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four monk levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. (column on the character AC Bonus ) These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed . He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless , when he wears any armor , when he carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load. I would have understood that a first lvl Monk would get the wisdom modifier flat out added to the AC / CMD as long as no armor is worn or he is unencumbered. "In addition" according to lv up further AC Bonus would be gained according to the column. Therefore two AC Bonus sources would be there. After chatting with another player who seemed to be offended at this statement, stated that the bonus you would get from the modifier if any is related to the column so you would only benefit for a +5 AC Bonus at lvl 20 even if you i.e. got a modifier of 10. I hope anyone reading this won't take it personal.
