[QUOTE="NRAO, post: 5119689, member: 88690"] I get what you're saying and from what I've read it's does seem right, though (and I had forgotten to mention this in my first post), we're in a very low magic setting so it's probably pretty good in that respect, and at any rate I've already taken it (I'm currently lvl 4) so I can't really change that at this point, the feats I've listed are the ones I have already (I didn't have a whole lot of time til the start of the session so I picked the best ones I could qualify for that I found) I just leveled up but I'm not really sure where I want to go with my character or how, so I figured I'd ask around since reading through all the different books is starting to get overwhelming. Throw anything is more for flavour than anything, my DM basically said I could throw "anything" with it (like I said, the games very house-ruled) including allies (my thought process behind it was it would be fun to throw the team fighter literally into the fray) I'm pretty sure I can access tome of battle, but I'd have to check with him to be sure, I've looked into the swordsage and I like the idea behind them, although again I can't use the light armour (and we'd be lucky if we run into good magic items at this point) since I'm already in VoP (despite mechanically helping it's nice RP-wise, and not having to deal with the idiots in my group when it comes to treasure +my DM is allowing me to take any feat not just exalted ones as bonus feats (yeah I know it's crazy but hey)) the more and more I hear about this swordsage the more I like them, the maneuvers particularly seem pretty nice. I'm going to look into those other feats you mentioned and see if my DM would allow them (he might, but there's no guarentee, do you have any other suggestions besides, particularly for later levels as well?) Also I've been looking into the Enlightened/Sacred Fist PrCs what do you think about them? I kinda like the idea of magic (though it's a toss up if my DM would allow me to take 'em unless I can come up with a pretty convincing RP thing, i.e. how I learned magic) I like the idea of the Divine Buff spells (particularly things like Divine Might) or something like Wraithstrike (again if my DM would allow it) which I'm sure would do wonders for my monk's combat capabilities (which are sorely lacking, especially compared to the fighters who are pretty monstrous (or hell even the rouge and his sneak attack)) any other suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated, also thanks. [I don't know how to hide things in the spoiler tab, so I'll just put this here. I can't think of anything that would help that in IE besides the obvious copy your post every so often, if you use firefox though there's an extension that could help you: [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6984[/url] I haven't tried it yet myself, but from the description it seems like it should work, there are also greasemonkey scripts that would work (mostly, I've used it myself and it usually works but sometimes might not for one reason or another that I've never figured out) hope that helps at least a little bit] [/QUOTE]
