[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 5163426, member: 36150"] @grufflehead: I might be losing it, but I thought I saw a suit of Full Plate on your Fighter/Monk. I believe a Monk can't perform any of her special abilities while wearing armor, and thus loses any benefits of her bonus feats if she's strapping on a tin can. [Edit] Ok, not ALL of them, but: [I][SIZE=2]When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses his [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering---final/combat---final#TOC-Armor-Class"]AC[/URL] bonus, as well as his fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.[/SIZE][/I] [I][SIZE=2]Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor[/SIZE][/I] To me, Whirlwind Attack is pretty, but situational at best, even if we had a battle map. In the Good Ol' Days of 2e, the DM (usually me) would simply pair up 1-3 opponents per PC and have them slog it out regardless of tactical considerations, and it is this tactic which I suggest to fireinthedust. I see the cause for your concern. It's true - I designed my Oracle to be a battle-monger, albeit a simple one. Your monk build is by no means wasted, especially if you plan on using that Glaive. It's a shame you can't FoB with it, but there may be a feat somewhere that will allow you to do so. A polearm fighter can be very fun and stylish, although the whole reach annoyance can be... well... annoying. Good thing you're also a Monk and can punch/kick people to death. It's a good schtick when you factor in Combat Reflexes. [/QUOTE]
