[QUOTE="XCorvis, post: 2891117, member: 1265"] Interesting fix, but it seems to have a great potential for abuse. Take a monk with OK stats and put every stat boost into one ability. Then add enhancement items to it. Then, later, add inherant bonuses. You're looking at a really high score. Even at low levels, that can still be pretty high. An elf monk 7 could easily have a dex of 26 (18+2 elf+2 enhancement+3 monk+1 level). Personally, I'd make it an enhancement (or inherant) bonus and force it to be spread it around a bit. Make it 4 bumps of +2 each that can't be used on the same score more than once. It's still useful, but it's not going to end up being badly abused. Actually, this has me thinking about barbarian rage. Barbarians easily get up into that high-stat range, but they only do it for a little while. What if the monk had a "warrior's trance" ability that bumped a couple of stats by a bit, but only with a limited duration, and maybe a side effect. +2 to dex and wisdom? Maybe add in some styles based on that? Iron Shirt style could give you +1 NA and +2 con instead of the regular bonus, etc... [/QUOTE]
