[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4875717, member: 19675"] Well, the first thing I'd suggest is that you take a look at the Monk Database (see my sig). The next thing I'd do is change his class from Cleric/Monk to Shaman (OA, with 3.5 update from Dragon #318)/Monk or mixing Monk with one of the Incarnum or Psionic classes. The 3.5 update gives the Shaman more monk-esque unarmed strikes that would stack with the monk's own. Heck, you could even go 100% updated Shaman, thereby boosting his spellpower. If you don't want to go that route, here are some easy things to do: 1) Dip into Shiba Protector. You'll get to apply the PC's Wis bonus to Att & damage in addition to AC. 2) If you want to boost his FoB [I]weapon[/I] damage, there are 2 routes: take one of the feats that adds a weapon to his "Monk Weapon" list or take levels in Shou Disciple- a PrCl that eventually can FoB with [I]any[/I] weapon. Monks who can FoB with a reach weapon can be very nasty indeed. 3) The Ring the Golden Bell feat from DCv1 lets a Monk use his unarmed strike at range...and any effects that would be delivered by a touch attack would be delivered that way. I would assume that extends even to the Ghoul's paralysis attack. As I recall, its range isn't that great, and it runs off of Stun attempts, but with taking Extra Stunning, this could get ugly [I]fast[/I]. [/QUOTE]
