Monk/Sorcerer

So I'm planning on making a Monk/Sorcerer and if I'm not mistaken there is a feat that meshes the two classes together. I keep looking through the books, but I can't seem to find it. The one book I don't have with me is the Complete Scoundrel. Does anyone know what feat I'm talking about is, and what the feat does? Just curious, thanks in advanced.

You're probably referring to Ascetic Mage, from the complete adventurer:

You practice an unusual martial art that mixes self-taught spellcasting and melee attacks to great effect.

Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, ability to spontaneously cast 2nd-level arcane spells.

Benefit: As a swift action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity, you can sacrifice one of your daily allotment of spells to add a bonus to your unarmed strike attack rolls and damage rolls for 1 round. The bonus is equal to the level of the spell sacrificed. The spell is lost as if you had cast it. If you have levels in sorcerer and monk, those levels stack for the purpose of determining your AC bonus. For example, a human 4th-level sorcerer/1st-level monk would have a +1 bonus to AC as if she were a 5th-level monk. If you would normally be allowed to add your Wisdom bonus to AC (such as for a unarmored, unencumbered monk), you instead add your Charisma bonus (if any) to your AC.In addition, you can multiclass freely between the sorcerer and monk classes. You must still remain lawful in order to continue advancing as a monk. You still face the normal XP penalties for having multiple classes more than one level apart.

That's the only feat I know of that meshes the two.

Ah, thanks. That's the one. I knew it existed, just couldn't find it. I have Complete Adventurer with me too, but apparently I didn't look in it. Thanks Japic.

Next question. Does casting Mage Armor on yourself count as wearing armor negating your Wis to AC and the bonus to AC from Monk?

[Lin]

Nope. Its the same as wearing bracers of armor. Its an armor bonus to AC, but it isn't armor. Indeed, it doesn't even have any of the stats assossiated with armor (type, weight, ACP, ASF, Max Dex, etc.) besides the armor bonus.

Funny, I was just thinking about this multi-class earlier today. Huh. I'm curious to see how it works out for you.

You might also want to look at the Arcane Fist PrC from Complete Arcane.

It's actually called Enlightened Fist, and that was the Prestige Class I was planning on going into with this character. Arcane Fist is the actual ability they get that's pretty damn neat.
