    Can you take evasion in heavy armor? Why not have your fighter take a level of monk for evasion and +2 saves (in return for -1 BAB): fortitude, reflex, and will? Will the wisdom bonus apply as a penalty if you are: in armor, and wisdom below 10?

    Wearing anything heavier than Studded Leather armor will disable Evasion. The save bonus does work, and just as you noted, makes for an interesting tradeoff scenario if and when aligment and multiclassing penalty considerations allow for it.
