Message: <blockquote data-quote="drdevoid" data-source="post: 915360" data-attributes="member: 5356">I have to strenuously disagree with the constitution angle for the monk. It leads to bad things. The idea that monks need wisdom (and feats that have a need for wisdom) is based on the precept of awareness (for the self, the other, and the ethereal) not common sense. You want a constitution based guy- go psionics or go dwarf fighter.Knowledge of the power of one's own body is not knowledge of one's body. There's a world of difference between the martial artist and the biologist. I beg everyone- Base all cool ki or "stunning attack" channeling feats off wisdom. The word "monk" in all cultures refers to one who studies or contemplates existence and/or the ineffable and focuses her life goals towards such ends. Should constitution factor into such existential pursuits?The only reason Constitution factors into a monk is hit points (if the monk is more of a warrior class) or if the concentration skill is a concern (for using spell like abilities in melee). However, wisdom and strength remain key for a monk.-Joe</blockquote>
