[QUOTE="shivamuffin, post: 549397, member: 936"] COOL! I knew they had a martial art form, but I couldn't remember it's name! Thanks! Yeah it's a fluffed up monk. I wanted to capture something...Hopefully I haven't caught something too ridiculous. The spiritual monk is powerful, but I did my best to add restrictions. I have yet to play test the thing...I'm sure it will be alot less troublesome as some multi classes I seen... Barbarian/fighter/monk/drunken master...I can't believe d20 allows such things! or DM's for that matter. Powerful classes are cool if there's a reason ( I want an Indian element that players can understand and desire to explore ), and the creator adds restrictions. This particular example ( Bengali Spiritual Monk ) restricts multi classes with the exception of some related prestige classes. I also made the HD low, which sucks. No domain spells are a bite too. I had to keep the basic unarmed and AC stuph as a teaser. Alignment restrictions, and the abscence of the monk feats. The 2 bonus feats are another teaser, but don't make up for the lack of the monk feats. The Martial monk just hits a bit harder. The restrictions will prevent silly multi classes, and races from making the class too powerful...Humans only for this one. In the Near East campaign, the selection of this class will also determine ethnicity. A factor that must be carefully considered by the player...Not much is really out there in the gaming world for India, thus making this a very alien class for most players. I also think that what I did was not so far from what was done for OA...The jury is still out on that one though, so I'll refrain from delving deeper into that topic. Thanks to the responses, and to all future responses...Critique is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
