Armor is not similarly limited, and all characters can use different types of armor.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/bashiok-on-class-specific-items-part-two/] (Each type of armor will look different and appropriate on each class.)
===Monk Weapon Choices===
All of the classes in Diablo III are limited in their weapon choices, the Monk more than most. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/699367]
::[[Bashiok]]: Currently our list of weapons the monk class can use is one handed [[swords]], [[polearms]], combat [[staves]], and [[fist]] weapons. That could potentially change, but its probably pretty likely those will be the weapons the monk can equip. The flavor of the monk we’re working on now is a very strong connection between a small and focused group of weapon types, and the skills that use them.
This rules out [[axes]], two-handed [[swords]], [[spears]], [[wands]], [[daggers]], [[orbs]], [[maces]], and possibly [[bows]] and [[crossbows]]. Monks could not use [[shields]] as of April 2010, but by August 2010 that had changed, and a Monk was seen using a shield in the [[Artisan Video]].
