[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8211616, member: 6704184"] The specific character this is for makes sense to have levels of Rogue, but is mostly a Monk. Right now he is a Drunken Master. Tipsy Sway is great against multiple enemies, but his backstory includes him being lethal in single (especially arena) combat. What I’d love instead of Tipsy Sway is an expansion on Deflect Arrows.
