[QUOTE="Apok, post: 625815, member: 1969"] The Sacred Fist is a much more offense-oriented class than the Monk. They don't get anywhere near the number of neato special abilities the Monk gets, but the ones they do get are there to help them kick arse. In the last Epic Level campaign I played in, my character was a Paladin 6/Monk 8/Sacred Fist 10. His saves were amazing and he could dish out some really sweet damage, but he lacked alot of the frills that being straight Monk added (poison immunity, SR, DR, etc). Monks are reknowned for their ability to survive nearly any situation. To offset this, the Sacred Fist focues on combat. Admittedly, one could argue all day about the relative value of combat abilities in 3e but I think the Monk and SF fulfill two very distinct roles in a campaign. I also like the idea of a non-oriental pugilist PrC, especially one that can be easily tied to a church or other religious organization. As an asside, I think the idea of a PrC that took some of the Sacred Fists abilities (namely the NSB, which is their premier ability IMO) but was geared more towards Monks would be really cool.
