[QUOTE="magic_gathering2001, post: 2811173, member: 32001"] I am going to have to say broken. Plusses AC increase rate(1+3/8ths level) BAB increase HD double increase Shattering Strike Opportunist (Improved) Uncanny dodge Skill Mastery No Alignment restriction(I hope you weren't planning on keeping it anyway) Minusses No monkey special abilities(except flurry and improved flurry) No Wisdom to AC Bad will save Freedom to multiclass Overall: Less ability score dependent (now only needs 3) Less ability spamming Since most of a monks AC dissapears when she is flat footed uncanny dodge is a really really good ability. Shatering strike gets rid of another weakness of the class, DR. It is less ability score dependent so they become more viable with pointbuy and without uber rolls. They can now duke it in melee and can also run away faster than their opponent. They are the rogue and wizards best friend(mobile meatshield/flank buddy). [/QUOTE]
