[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2838351, member: 19675"] [I]DCv1[/I] has 2: Unorthodox Flurry lets you turn any light weapon into a monk weapon (and by my reading, this would also include Natural weapons*), and Pole Fighter which lets you use a Polearm as a monk weapon. BTW: Orc or Half-Orc + Feral Template + Monk + Unorthodox Flurry + Improved Natural Attack + PsyWar (with Enlarge power) = UGLY (especially if you make it persistent). Switch out Monk, etc. for Barbarian etc. and it still works... *as I recall, the feat was written by Ari Marmell, ENWorld's own Mousferatu (my [I]DCv1[/I] has been borrowed, so I can't say for sure), so we could ask [I]him[/I]. Actually, the PsiWar or Psion is better- Inertial Armor and Force Screen are nearly equivalent & can be made to last longer...and there are a whole host of powers that could be used to buff a monk. Many of the PsiWar natural weapon powers have manufactured weapon equivalents. Given the monk's class ability to have their Unarmed Strikes count as either, you take the weapon version of the power and you can use it for either his US or his weapons. Combine that with the bonus feats, the possibility of taking a polearm, and an Enlarge power that can be applied twice, and things get serious (see the above). The Psion, OTOH, has a bunch more power and flexibility, and could specialize in things like telekinesis, telepathy or teleportation powers....thus becoming a Jedi or Kwizats Haderach. IMHO, even the Soulknife (or the Kensai) has better things to offer: take Unorthodox Flurry with the mindblade, and a few feats or a PrCl from Dragon or CompPsi and you've got a PC who can do all kinds of nasty killification.
