[QUOTE="Mycanid, post: 3387296, member: 40370"] Umm ... yeah. :) Niles - regarding your saying "On the other point I think you may have fallen for the meme that oriental weapons are automatically more graceful and elegant." What I base my assumption on is how I saw it used in the movie. It WAS more graceful and elegant. My original hope in the thread was to see how something like that could manifest in game terms with a prestige class for the monk preferably (fighter secondarily) and with feats. On other notes. Neither the two or the three sectioned staff I saw had any metal on the staff parts - these were just wood. The metal was in the sturdy chains holding the staff sections together. A flail has a bunch of metal on it and would hurt a lot more to my understanding. FireLance - I like your ideas, but I am hoping more for something a little "souped up" per se, something that a MASTER of the weapon could do with it, kinda along the lines Celebrim has been suggesting, I guess. I am still looking for a prestige class. Something like "Shaolin Monk", who is then offered a whole series of schools he can specifically (i.e. singly) focus in develop, rather as the psion focuses in a specific discipline of the psionic practice, I guess (to use a rule-based image reference).
