[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 2890531, member: 710"] I don't know if it's brilliant, but it is certainly an option to explore. Personally, I think the Dwarves weakness is less the "MAD", but the combination of low attack bonus and armor class, which can be adressed with increasing ability scores, but also other options. (I think there are probably dozens of ways to improve the Monk, but I wouldn't want to decide easily if they are balanced or really adress percieved problems :) ) Thematically, these abilities definitely fit. I wouldn't make the ability bonus named. There is no real need for a "Monk Bonus to Ability Score", especially if you want the bonus to stack anyway. If you want to name them, I would use existing bonus. (I'd recommend against Enhancement, and would probably go for inherent) Giving out an ability bonus every 2 levels seems a bit much, compared to how little ability bonus increase otherwise. On the other hand, the effect might look neglible otherwise. An alternative progression might be at level 5, 10, 15 and 20. [/QUOTE]
