Anybody who wants to take the feats can. For those other than the Monk, this is a hinderance. Also, using this system, the most you can add to your AC is four points total. That is not a lot.. For a Fighter, this is a BIG hinderence...In the long run, the DM can balance this out by not giving away as many magic items..So this is different from a Wizard casting a Maximized Firebal how? For Monks this only increases thier natural progression rate. The Monk cannot go higher than a d20. In fact the system helps balance out some of the restrictions that are on the monk without making him too powerful...that's attack from proone with no penalties.... This only lets you stand up....Wisdom is the the most important of the stats for the Monk. A majority of the abilities rely on the Wisdom (as defined in the wider sense) of the character to be able to use them, thus the system falls to Wisdom as the requirement.As for the Legsweep, That has its own requirement of 1 rank in Balance. The prerequisite for the maneuver itself reflect more accurately what is required. The Wisdom thing in the feats reflect being wise enough to use the information gained through the Feat to actually learn the special maneuvers.....Kinda bossy aren't you? I love how folks who never post new ideas or alternative ways of doing things always say, "I don't like that, change it to my whim." Especially if they have never tried it out.heheFirst, actually try using the system before attempting to tell me how to write. You may find that it actually works much better than you think at first glance.Secondly, Just as with ANY optional rule, it comes with the unstated disclaimer "Use at your own risk", which means that as a DM, you may need to adjust things to suit your own campaign style.I have also said in several places that the DM should use this system as a base, not use it as is. But create sub-lists of the abilities to reflect various schools and disciplines, to help make martial arts using characters that much more unique rather than the cardboard cut-outs of each other as the Monk is in the core rulebook.</blockquote>
