[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 4997820, member: 35909"] OP: I've long considered a houserule inspired by the Snap Kick feat whereby the monk's flurry of blows becomes extra attacks he can apply to ANY attack action on his turn. Just take the penalty (assuming you're low level and have one), and BAMF! Flurry on a charge. Flurry on a spring attack. Flurry on a readied action attack! Beware the monk who took the feats to make longspear a special monk weapon! In any of those cases, the monk can string on his extra flurry attacks, using unarmed strikes or one of the special monk weapons. Allows the monk to fullfill his mobile combatant niche without the conflicting interest of wanting to stand still to full attack with flurry. If someone actually plays a monk my next game, I'm going to see how it works. Which is why the monk would not be naked. He would have gear equal in value to the Fighter's, just instead of armor, he has bracers of armor. On top of the Fighter's +str, dex, and con items, the monk's rocking +wisdom. And so on... And he should be able to put up an even fight in that case. Finally, I suggest you click the bottom link in my sig. A monk is not fighting 40 ft long dragons at low levels, and level 6+, characters have exceeded the bounds of human limit, so I really don't care if he can fly kick an ancient red dragon's head off its neck at that point. No more than I ponder how the fighter's stabbing the dragon to death with a sword of such a size that the dragon uses larger toothpicks. Wha???? Oathsworn's one of the weakest classes in that book! How is it broken? What can it do that a Warforged Warblade/Swordsage/Crusader (pick one) couldn't do just as well if not better? [/QUOTE]
