Feral Monk Feat Selection

[amphoterik]

DM is making an alignment allowance based on my story line for my character.

For Fist of the Forest, I just can't buy food or sleep in doors. I can work around that. Usually my buddy plays a druid so we follow those rules anyway (just cause he wants to, not cause he has to)

I am asking about your opinions here given my specific character

What do you mean?

Probably just a spam bot, picking snippets from other people posts and re-posting them.

Yup. Seen him do it in other posts and reported it.

I can't recall the name, but I think there's a feat in Dragon Mag that lets claw damage and unarmed strike damage combine?

Beast Strike - don't remember issue # off-hand, but I do remember a +3 BAB prereq on it.

This build concept is cracking me up only because I've been running my level 3 feral half-orc monk who is a focused on grappling for about a month now.

Running a monk with beast strike is great too because your unarmed strikes are bludgeoning, and claws are piercing and slashing. So with beast strike which lets you add claw damage to your unarmed strikes you deal B/P/S all in one. Then once you hit level 4 for that Ki Strike (magic) you're golden without any backup weapons or magic items... at least until you run into DR/adamantine, silver, [alignment], etc. But for low level stuff you should be alright!

That's the one. Dragon 355, apparently...

When you can afford them, grab a Ring of Adamantine Touch and Gauntlets of Weaponry Arcane.
