Posted Jun 16, 2021This is meant to be a monk style to be a strength/tank your strength and wisdom is highest and as your level goes up you refine your body (Constitution) as you adventure throughout the game (increasing your health points as well as your AC that's why Con replaces Dex in unarmored defense)
