[QUOTE="Tectorman, post: 3996785, member: 59207"] Just a few questions, 'cause I love the class and I want to be sure to get it right. 1.) Why just Wis bonus to AC instead of Wis bonus + (up to) 4 like the normal Monk? 2.) I suppose the Mantra Monk is capable of bypassing the normal restriction of still having at least one PP in order to attain a psionic focus (and thus expend it for the mantras), is that right? 3.) Does the Ki Projection strike range increment operate as a thrown increment (max. range is 5x) or as a projectile (max. range is 10x)? I know "Projection" would imply the projectile version, but seeing as how Ki Blast from the PHB II is a "thrown" attack, I want to be sure. 4.) For Extend Style (and thus, Superior Style in the class's special abilities) to function, are the normal rules for "virtual" feats supposed to be suspended? I.e., if I'm a Ranger with Combat Style (TWF), then at 2nd level, I get TWF. It only applies when I'm not in medium or heavy armor, but otherwise, I get to benefit from it like normal (including being able to use a character level feat to get Two-Weapon Defense without having to go back and take TWF for real just to qualify for the feat). Because if that's not how it works, then I need it explained to me. Other than that, it is heads and tails superior to the 3.5 Monk. Even if all the class abilities summed up into being the same, just the fact of having so much versatility makes the class attractive. Very, very well done. [/QUOTE]
