Boxing Charakter - What Feats?

[Morik]

Hello,

I'm just creating an NPC Hunter of the Dead (he is a Cleric/Hunter of the Dead 6/1) in the name of 'The Morninglord'.

He's name is Rocky Montana (why not?) and I would like to make him some kind of a very good Adventurer with a love for Boxing.

My question is:
How can I make a verry good boxer out of him (what feats/skills I should use best). His weapon of choice are furthermore Heavy Mace and the Musket.

His domains are Nobility and Sun.

He is lawfull good

Any ideas?

Take Improved Unarmed Strike, and either Power Attack (offensive) or Expertise (defensive). Stunning Attack may be good to get later.

Taking a Monk level for better unarmed damage may be a good idea (or convince your DM to allow the IUS feat to improve the unarmed damage; it does cost a feat, and unarmed attacks aren't that great, after all).

Geoff.

I would also reccomend Dodge and maybe Toughness.

how about one lvl of monk for unarm strike and good saves. It doesnt really matter that you cant be a monk anymore

but cleric saves are good too- and the spells for improving unarm damage is good.

Or you can go monk/druid. the druid can give enhancement to natural weapons....

and finally- monk/barbarian. you went from law to chaos- and so cannot gain anymore lvl in monk- but who cares. the barb rage will make you a force to reckon with. The improved saves in rage is good- wespecially with the monk high saves already- and the wrecklessness will scare others from entering the rink with you... if you want to take it a step farther-

you can give him PrC- fist of Hextor for str boost or berserk fro more powerful rage...

endurance, boxing is an intense workout, much more so than the martial art classes I took.

Unarmed strike, toughness, dodge, endurance, lightning relexes, maybe initiative too (ie comes out fighting)

Depending on how accomodating your DM is, you might also see if you can use some of the unarmed combat feats from spycraft.

Thank you all for your great help!

Thank you all for your help! Wonderful ideas here for me to dig in and make my character a boxing whirlwind.

I think I will take a monk level and then the hell with it...

Torque:
The unarmed combat feats you mentioned in spycraft did capture my interest. Unfortunatly I didn't own a single source of spycraft.

I will have a look in my local gameshop today. I have to support that one from time to time anyway

You should check out Beyond Monks D20 as well. It includes a slew of martial arts feats - including Boxing.
