My first PrC, based loosely on the Cipher Faction from Planescape. Too powerfull? names too cheesy? more/different ideas? Comments/improvements extremely welcome.

If it's a monk prestige class, cheesy names are the rule.

The cipher faction wasn't limited to only monks, though.

You could revamp it, maybe with a will or reflex save pereq, a bonus to physical activities like the acrobatic one (though that seems high, +30 by class end? wow), and skill mastery like you have here that lets you take 10. The no-mind philosophy applies to things besides acrobatics, though, maybe let it be a special ability where they pick the skills it applies to.

As a monk class, you have the monk damage increasing faster than normal monks do, it's normally every four levels, you have it every three. Did you write this for 3.0 or 3.5? Leap of the clouds is no longer a necessary ability, since jump distance isn't limited by height in 3.5.

Thanks for catching the leap of clouds and unarmed dmg errors DanMcs. The skill bonuses are based off the Blade Dancer PrC from OA. By lvl 10 u get +30 to those skills.
I know that cipher membership wasn't monks only, heck u just walked up and said "I want to join the order." Their whole zen way of thinking seemed perfect for a monk class, so that's why i chose to make it monk only with the still mind ability.

Thanks for the reply,

Monk of Mirth

Frankly, when reading the class name and many of its abilities, I believed it was based on the movie Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons. As such, I would to see the class having some abilities to airwalk as in the film.
