Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteelDraco" data-source="post: 928351" data-attributes="member: 359">Psychic warrior is really the way to go if you want a Matrix-esque monk. I'm about to start such a character in a Planescape game - a githzerai Monk1/Psychic Warrior7. The level of monk is really important for the free Improved Unarmed Attack feat, saves, evasion, flurry of blows, and the martial arts feat.Stats - Dex highest, then Str, Wis, and Con. Int and Cha aren't terribly important, at least for this build. You can do a fun one with Expertise, but this build is focused on hitting hard and avoiding attacks with a really high AC.Items - Things that replicate monk powers are good - Boots of Skating, Boots of Striding and Springing, Monk's Belt, ki straps, etc. Stat buffs to Dex and Wis are nice as well.Feats - Lots of the psionic feats are Matrix-esque. Up the Walls, Unavoidable Strike, Mental Leap, and such are pretty good examples. Here's what I'm going to play, though this isn't as Matrix-y as I could have made him.Githzerai - Inertial ArmorChar1 - Psionic FistMonk1 - Power AttackPsy Warrior 1 - Speed of ThoughtPsy Warrior 2 - Weapon Focus (Unarmed)Char3 - Weapon Finesse (Unarmed)Psy Warrior 5 - Unavoidable StrikeChar6 - Flying KickPsy Warrior 6 - Weapon Specialization (Unarmed)Powers - For most of these, you'll have to change the description a bit. However, a number of them work just fine mechanically for replicating the Matrix. Claws of the Bear, Displacement, and Animal Affinity all make sense.What are you planning, anyway? Just a thought experiment, or are you going to play a Matrix game using the d20 rules?</blockquote>
