[QUOTE="Zaphling, post: 5153311, member: 89462"] [LEFT][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]This is a race inspired by combining Native American culture and Shaolin monk ascetic culture. And since I have a character in my novel who is a Gakan that controls lightning and uses his fists and body to fight instead of holding a weapon. This race concept appeared first in my novel and I did some brainstorming so that I can use it in DND. I have the info in MSword, and it is in 3.5 format[B]. [/B][/FONT][B]Can be found below.[/B] [B]I posted it hear because I want to convert it to 4e. This is what I've got so far.[/B] [B]+2 Strength and Wisdom because I was hoping that monks will also utilize Strength as their primary stat (like Paladins with Str or Cha, Warlocks with Cha or Con, and Ranger with Str or Dex), and also it nicely fits with their physical looks and behaviour, since they are less talk observant type of folks.[/B] [B]Gave them resistance to psychic damage since they have strong minds, (I had this idea even before they published Shardmind.

[SIZE=3]I have a few concerns, will it be possible that WotC will create a Strength type Monk instead of the usual Dex ones? because I don't want to change the Gakan's bonus to strength to dex so that monk will just fit. A final note. Gakans live together with nature and spirits, since their tribe is mostly led by a shaman. I will discuss further about my thoughts and ideas for this race and background maybe tomorrow since my sister demands that I sleep right now. I appreciate the help you'll be posting here.
