From some earlier discussions, there weer alot of people, myself included, that thought dexterity should more widely applicable as affecting attack bonus. These were big ugly threads, some of which may even have gotten closed due to crapulence. I am not trying to re-open that can o' worms...

I should have worded that better. I meant weapons for which weapon finesse could not normally be used, but the quarter staff example fits that.

Monks can use weapon finesse with their unarmed flurry. Can they use weapon finesse with other weapons with which they can flurry? I am thinking about the quarterstaff primarily here, but this may be more applicable to those that allow non-standard special monk weapons. Also, as an aside...

There has been this discussion, specifiaclly about celestial armor several months ago. I believe the consensus was that mithril was already taken into account within the stats of celestial armor.9; I think is is essentially mithril chain +3 with the added special abilities. What alwasy got...

I agree with Ogrork, monks are definately a versatile character class; able to contribuite in many ways. I also think that a well put together monk can stand up in combat. An 11th level monk gets +8/+8/+8/+3 with flurry, an 1th level fighter gets +11/+6/+1; personally I think the extra attack...

Primitive, thanks for the ideas they were very helpful. The character in question is an elf monk and, in the end, we decided to allow him to use the elf familiarity weapons (longsword, rapier, and the bows) as his monk weapons. The rational is that, if any weapons are natural for him to use...

Does this seem balanced?

First, Is this Malazan related? Frikkin' great series. It would be cool to be able to emulate the Diverse, if that is your thinking. I wouldn't think that wildshaping to a swarm would be overpowered. It may not be explicitly RAW (although a case could be made that it is), but you could...

I am thinking of giving monks an alternate first level feat to stunning fist or grapple. It would be "flurry with chosen weapon". This feat, taken instead of stunning fist or imp. grapple, would allow the monk to gain the ability to flurry with a chosen weapon with which they are proficient...

In my current campaign we use a modified/house rule action point system. Each character gets 1/2 level, rounded down, + 1d6 points per level; we use the suggested roll 2d6 and tak the higher for each point used. We are currently 13th so that equates to 7-12 points, which reset at the next...

In theory this is correct, but due to friction caused by the surface tension of the water and loss of energy as heat to both water and air, the ripples will sadly eventually fade.

Can't believe I missed that one; ignore this thread sorry.

So last night in our session we encountered a couple vampires. They were tough, but we got lucky and one took 2 disintegrates in a round. It failed the first save and was brought to <10 hp. The next one hit it, got through SR and the displacement, and would have brought it to below 0...

Flavorwise, I think would be fine for a monk to have a larger selectionof weapons to use with flurry. From my viewing of martial arts movies that have shaolin monks (an other monk-like characters), the monks seems to be proficient with, and flurrying with, swords, spears, staffs, 3 section...

Actually, with all of the posts about how the monk is underpowered, I am surprised that a feat beyond focus is being suggetsed.

So I run across the equivalent of moks using many different weapons in movies and books a lot and am wondering how to translate that to the monk class. My IDea is to allow Monks to flurry with any weapon they have either proficiency with or focus with. The question is; would it be...

Can this ability be used with a ranged attack (ie. bow) against an opponent in melee with an ally? Basically, can my archer rogue use this to shoot an arrow, assuming the archer is not engaged in melee, at an opponent the fighter is in melee with?

It's all about acolyte of the skin baby. If my DM allowed non-core, I would be all over that!

So it does; not to quibble, but appearently I can't do simple math anymore (long week).

Actually (not to quibble, just making sure I remember correctly), the bracers are bonus squared x 1000, so +8 is 64k. The armor and shield are both also bonus squared x 1000 and at +5 each equal 100k. they beat the bracers in price, but not by much! But, yes it was a good find. One of those...
