This. I'm still new to the game myself, but I've already seen that different players have different play styles. Getting everyone to play the same way might hamper the fun. That said, it might help for the DM to set out some rules or a kind of "player's guide." Things like ettiquite, basic...

Thanks, all...this confirms my suspicions. I had thought as much--and ultimately, it's not a big deal as with the way our party is built, only one of them will be close enough to benifit most of the time--but I want to know the ins and outs of the class!

I seem to remember seeing this come up before, so please forgive my asking it again, but I couldn't find the original thread... I understand that when one hybrids with Runepriest, you do get Runic Artistry (selection between wrathful hammer an defiant word), but Rune Master (extra benefit while...

The only reason I'm wondering about weapons and how they interact with the ki focuses and such is because I've multiclassed into Runepriest--I know, not the optimal or expected choice!--and would like to have a good option for those powers. That's why I'd originally thought urgrosh, though...

I guess accurate Ki focus would work nicely with any weapon I want to use it with. Maybe I'll try playing with that in the builds... As for the implement/ki focuses question; this is very clear now, thank you. basically, one or the other. This actually makes my choice a bit easier, because I'm...

Ha...that's what I thought. For the past week I've been playing around with different combinations, but they've all involved using both a Ki Focus and an Implement, stacked. I'll have to rethink this... I have two main reasons to use weapons: I've multiclassed into Runepriest (because I've...

Tried a Crashing Tempest style as well, which looks nice. With a rhythm dagger in my off hand, a club in my main hand, and a +2 Ki focus, I still have a +10 to hit. If i were to use a Ki club, would that damage stack with the style? This would put my FoB damage at 11 each time I hit, which is...

I'm playing with the cb now and I can't seem to get much better than I have done, a build using unarmed strike and a Ki cutting wheel +1 with a Ki Focus +2. This gives me +10 to hit and about 6 extra damage. The accurate dagger would put me up to +11 to hit at the cost of a feat if I get a +2...

Must have been my rolls...your analysis is right, but I seemed to roll lower than a 9 more often than not. Maybe it's time for a new die ;) That's nice to hear. I'm really very new to D&D, and thought I was missing something...but after playing with the CB for a week, I can't seem to get above...

I'm building a Monk right now in prep for a new game starting up in a couple weeks, and am wondering about the to hit bonuses as well. I played a fighter in the just finished portion of our campaign, and had a +11 to hit at level 6--and I barely hit anything. This is only my second character...

So I've been tweaking the above build over the past week or so, after talking with the rest of the party and what they're doing for characters. It turns out two of our party are going to be hanging back and using ranged attacks, while our defender and I get up close and personal, which suits me...

Ah...this makes sense, and seems a lot less broken. So this Ki Focus would only be useful when using an action point, for example, or an attack that has a rider saying I can make a secondary attack? Or (not that I plan on this, just thinking out loud) if I were to multiclass into Ranger instead...

So our campaign has reached a branching point where our DM has given us a choice--stay with your current character (I'm a human/Damphyr fighter) or let them go on their way and create a new character at level. I've chosen the latter. I wanted to play a Dwarf--never have, I'm very new to D&D. The...

Hello! I'm completely new to D&D, but it has absolutely captured my imagination. I used to be a writer, until I "grew up" and started concentrating on things like family and full time jobs and being generally dull...but D&D has got my creative juices flowing, and I'm loving it. Despite being...
