quick tip, if you trow water bottles at your companions (and yourself) you clean the blood off them (because bloodstains stay even if you change armor)

@@Gar1onTabletop Barbarians who do not wear armor have the constitution modifier helping their AC, in addition to constitution being their highlight, clothing that also provides strength points improving their attack is surprisingly good, not to mention the ability provided by the piece. There are several other pieces that provide AC points and are not considered armor, such as boots, rings, capes and bracelets. Added to the barbarians' unarmored defense bonus, they have AC points compatible with heavy armor classes.
@@Gar1onTabletop From what I understand of 5e most Barbarians use medium armor unless they have really high dex (which means focusing on 3 ability scores and is tough to do if one wants to use feats) or reach level 20 and get the +4 to Str and Con (which most campaigns don't reach). Looking online it appears a Strength Monk is considered a viable build for multiclassing or for a character focused on grappling though it's not an optimal build, in part as Monk doesn't naturally get any armor proficiencies.
@@Gar1onTabletop Barbarians typically dont want to wear armor from my experience. Which is why Karlach's starting gear was clothing, but there isn't anything stopping them from doing it either I don't think. At least not like with casters where they become unable to cast spells. I am actually doing a monk build with the tavern brawler feet and as modded in tabaxi race, so my monk uses stength, but generally they just use dex con and wisdom. Tho I havent made it past act 2 yet so maybe stuff changes at later levels or with higher end gear.

Barbarians and to an extent monks use strength and prefer not to wear armor because of their unarmored defense skills.
I guess barbarians can, but I can't imagine they often do. I'm curious if a Strength build works for monks.
