[QUOTE="Chun-tzu, post: 124979, member: 1441"] If I wanted to create a Zen archer, I'd aim for the Order of the Bow Initiate, from Sword and Fist. Although it's geared towards fighters (requires weapon specialization), to create a more martial arts oriented character, I'd go with the Psychic Warrior. A Psychic Warrior would have to wait until level 6 to get specialization, but you gain some nice psychic powers (and feats) that work well with martial arts and archery. You've also got some very nice stats, which makes a psychic warrior even better. Psychic Warrior also mixes well with Monk, in both abilities and character concept. In fact, if your DM is using the Psionics Handbook, you might be able to talk him into using levels of Psychic Warrior [i]instead[/i] of Monk, since you can easily design a psychic warrior that will look to other people an awful lot like a monk. Then again, a couple levels of monk wil give you a lot of benefits, including Missile Deflection, which fits very nicely with a master of kyudo (the way of the bow). And as for True Strike, if your DM is using [i]If Thoughts Could Kill[/i], there's a conversion of True Strike to a level 1 power for the psychic warrior. [/QUOTE]
