Appreciate that. And no worries.

[*]Untouchable is not only very touchable, but practically pointless, since a simple leather armour feat will do better than that altogether. I want to completely encourage unarmoured monks.

Actually, the leather armor feat isn't as much a no-brainer as you might think. Remember that martial artists can wear cloth armor, and that cloth armor can be enchanted, and has its own masterwork options as well. Assuming standard equipment values, the AC difference between a MA using Untouchable and a MA who spent the feat for leather armor) is only +1 in favor of the leather for most of the Heroic tier, a tie for most of the Paragon tier, and actually +1 in favor of the MA w/Untouchable in the Epic tier. And that's not even counting the possibility of a high Wisdom bonus.

[*]I know you've addressed this one in a round-about way, but with no enhancement bonus for unarmed, the House Rule I've implemented is a Chi Battery equal to half your level + your Wisdom Modifier...

Hmm. A little more complex on the record-keeping than I like, but if it works for you, fantastic.

Pet-Peeve of mine, and a cause for me having changed many of the Paladin Powers in my game (and banning of the SwordMage). Mental Attributes aren't to be used for Melee Weapon Powers unless highly thematic, such as the Nature Priest's Flaming Blade (which, btw, has a description of a Spear, not a Blade :P).

Heh. No wonder you dislike so much of the monk, and most of the troubadour. Me, since the monk's powers are technically prayers and the troubadour's are technically spells--even if they happen to also involve attacks--I've got no objection to using Wisdom or Charisma.

(Uh, obviously, or I wouldn't have written 'em that way. )

But again, if you've found a solution that works for you, that's great. I'm glad you were able to get as much use out of the book as you have.
