jayaint said:I asked this at the end of a dying thread awhile back, and figured I might shoot it out here, since we are talking monk-flavor.
Is there any mechanic that is not so unwieldy, that would grant a monk a +1 BAB with unarmed weapons at 1st level. I mean, if that's their schtick, then why aren't they receiving full progression for at least that? Not having the +1 also penalizes a STR-less monk (and lets face it, monks need a lot of stat pump) from taking Weapon Finesse at first level, or Intuitive Strike, etc..
Just curious if anyone here houseruled in a Fighter's BAB for Monk's unarmed attacks, and if it worked, didn't, etc.
Thanks.

wmasters said:Presumably 1st level because otherwise monk looks like a really good 1 level dip. And 19th because after 8 stat boosts, plus four for standard levels, you've had quite enough!

Mastery of Self (Ex): The monk's training has allowed him to hone an aspect of himself to a higher level of functioning. This self-improvement can be physical, mental, or spiritual. Whenever this ability is gained, the monk may add a +1 Monk bonus to any ability score, or increase any existing Monk bonus by +1.
This ability is gained at the following levels: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17.
