[QUOTE="AJMavrik, post: 756695, member: 8548"] This is a new feat I was thinking about to be primarily a Monk based feat but can be used by others with the proper requirements. If you guys could critique it for me, I would appreciate it. No Holding Back Prereq: STR 15+, BAB 3+, Imp. Unarmed Attack, Power Attack Whereas many monks are defensive oriented without a weapon, you believe the best defense is a good offense. Thus, you often leave yourself open to attack in exchange for knowing that your fist will always meet flesh. Benefit: On your action, before making attack rolls for a round, you may choose to subtract a number from your Armor Class (Defense) to add the same number to all unarmed melee attack rolls. This bonus does not add to the power of the attack, only the accuracy. No benefit is gained while wielding a weapon unless it has the benefit of the monk's unarmed base attack (ie. kama, siangham, etc.). The number may not exceed the character's BAB. The penalty on the AC and the bonus to unarmed melee attack rolls apply until the character's next full action. This feat may not be used in conjunction with power attack but may be used in conjunction with other feats. (I made this feat because I could not find anything that would help me increase my monk's ability to hit. He has an incredibly high defense score and never gets hit. I was trying to think of something that could possibly exchange one for the other but not be too powerful. Tell me what you guys think.) [/QUOTE]
