[QUOTE="Quip, post: 1047197, member: 3816"] Hello all! Been busy working on my game system lately, but I had a rather good idea for a prestige class for the 3.5 edition and thought I would share it with the boards. Basically the idea was for a monk who trades in magical abilities and zen-like transcendence to become a simple Beater Of Posterior. Enjoy! [B]The Steel Fist[/B] Alignment: Any. Hit Die: d8 Prereqs: Weapon Focus (Unarmed), Weapon Specialization (Unarmed), Ki Strike (Magic) Class Skills The Fist of Steel’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex). Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier. BAB: Best Fort: Good Ref: Poor Will: Poor 1 Unarmed Strike 2 Ki Strike (Cold Iron) 3 AC Bonus +1 4 Greater Weapon Focus (Unarmed) 5 Ki Strike (Silver) 6 AC Bonus +1 7 Greater Flurry 8 Ki Strike (Adamantine) 9 AC Bonus +1 10 Greater Weapon Specialization (Unarmed) Unarmed Strike The a character who takes levels as a Steel Fist treats those levels as if they were monk levels in regards to his progression of unarmed damage and flurry of blows abilities. Ki Strike At 2nd level, a Steel Fist's Ki strike improves so that his unarmed attacks are treated as cold iron weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction. At 5th level, her unarmed attacks are also treated as silver weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction. At 8th level, his unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of dealing damage to creatures with damage reduction and bypassing hardness. AC Bonus At 3rd level and every 3 levels thereafter the Steel Fist gains an additional point of AC, as per the monks AC bonus. Greater Weapon Focus (Unarmed) At 4th level the Steel Fist gains Greater Weapon Focus (Unarmed) as a bonus feat, without needing to meet the fighter level prerequisites. Greater Flurry At 7th level the Steel Fist's flurry of blows ability improves. In addition to the standard single extra attack she gets from flurry of blows, she gets a second extra attack at her full base attack bonus. Greater Weapon Specialization (Unarmed) At 10th level the Steel Fist gains Greater Weapon Specialization (Unarmed) as a bonus feat, without needing to meet the fighter level prerequisites. [/QUOTE]
