[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2980646, member: 19675"] I recently played an unusual Githzerai Monk/PsiWar (there was to be some Lucid Cenobite in there from [I]Hyperconscious[/I], but the campaign imploded). Since I had access to [I]Dragon Compendium voume 1 (DCv1)[/I], instead of the usual, I burned feats on Weapon Focus: Bisento (a 1d12 x3 martial polearm with reach from a Rokugan D20 equipment book) and Pole Fighter (a Feat that lets you use a polearm as a monk weapon, including the whole Flurry of Blows thing. (Stunning Fist and Combat Reflexes were his low-level bonus feats.) When the PsiWar levels kicked in, the first power taken was Enlarge, which kicked the Bisento damage up a couple of notches. Intertial Armor & Force Screen were also part of the mix. In addition, [I]DCv1[/I] had a Feat, Ring the Golden Bell, that let a monk use his unarmed strike at range- including all the abilities that were tied to his unarmed strike (like Stun attacks). INA was on the wish list as well... The effect: The monk could control a large area of space with his Bisento and Unarmed strikes, and his high dex ensured a lot of AoOs and a lot of successful "bell ringing." His ungodly dex and psionic powers made him a hard target. Simply a blast! However, I have it on good authority that Thri-Kreen also make quite lovely monks... [/QUOTE]
