Well, it is a Final Fantasy-esque Setting, where characters are quite powerful... The inspiration for this class is Sabin, from Final Fantasy VI (III in US). This monk-like class is meant to have different fighting styles to choose from, and some awesome ki energy-displaying abilities. Tifa...
I'm working on a class for my new setting that is similar to a monk, but is not trained at monastery and is not so disciplined. I want a class name that's not so tied to the oriental monk we all know.
Any ideas? (better if it is only one word not a 4e-like two-word name)
Hey, Thanks everyone for your thoughts, specially Stream... it doesn't sound like a bad idea now... I migh even try it myself... at least as a NPC in my next campaign.
I have a question, the Shield Block and Wall of Steel you speak of are maneuvers of the ToB, right? (not maneuvers from a...

You almost hit the Guy next to your target, tiring him a little bit.
or
You Almost hit both guys, but the second is less tired than the first one.
Unless my brain works very differently than most people's, I think ainatan's was a valid concern: It is actually too simple and doesn't acomplish much. 3.5 cleave was very simple an elegant. It grants another action, but it only does when you drop something. You could nerf it by dealing half...
