[QUOTE="DanMcS, post: 1580260, member: 6530"] [b]Enlightened Dragon[/b] Some monks emulate dragons as the beings most in-tune with their own bodies and spirits. This is a fighting style at heart, for monks who seek excellence in combat. Hit die: d8 Requirements Skills: Balance 9 ranks, Jump 9 ranks Feats: Improved Initiative, Combat Reflexes, Weapon Finesse Special: Ki strike (magic), must have studied with another monk who is at least a 5th level Enlightened Dragon, or with an actual dragon. Class skills: as monk. Skill points at each level: 4 + Int modifier BAB: 3/4 progression. Saves: All good progression. Table: The Enlightened Dragon 1 Monk abilities, Natural Armor +1 2 Tooth and Claw 3 NA +2, Forked Tongue 4 Lashing Tail 5 NA +3, Improved Evasion 6 Coiled Strike 7 NA +4, Dragon's Fire 8 Fang and Talon 9 NA +5 10 Dragon's Soul Monk abilities: Levels of this class stack with monk levels for purposes of unarmed attack damage, armor class bonus, flurry of blows progression, and speed bonus. Natural Armor: The ED's skin grows hard and scaly, providing her with natural armor, +1 at first level and an additional point every two levels thereafter. Tooth and Claw: The ED's trains her fingers to act as claws; her natural weapons can be considered slashing or piercing if she so desires, in addition to blunt, though only one type is used in any attack. Forked Tongue: At 3rd level, the ED gains the ability to speak Draconic. Lashing Tail: The Enlightened Dragon style features an exotic weapon few monks know how to use; they refer to it as the "dragon's tail". At 4th level, the ED gains proficiency with this weapon. A dragon's tail is a monk weapon, a multipart staff or nunchuku, often 7 to 8 feet long. It is finessable, and has identical statistics to a spiked chain, except it is blunt. Improved Evasion: At 5th level the ED gains this ability. Coiled Strike: At 6th level, the ED gains a +4 bonus to initiative (this stacks with improved initiative). Dragon's Fire: At 7th level, the ED's unarmed attacks and any dragon's tail she uses are considered flaming weapons. Fang and Talon: The ED's unarmed attacks continue to become more effective; at 8th level, when making a piercing or slashing unarmed attack, its critical hit damage multiplier is x3. Dragon's Soul: The ED has attuned her body, becoming like the wise creatures she studies. She becomes a magical creature- her type changes to dragon. She no longer takes aging penalties and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and she still dies of old age when her time is up. She gains DR 10/magic, and her dragon's fire improves from flaming to flaming burst. [/QUOTE]
