[QUOTE="Walking Dad, post: 4912903, member: 59043"] Sorry, I don't like monks in the DarkSun setting. On Athas, it is hard to get a steel weapon and it is a difficult balance between the protection of heavier armor and their penalties in the desert heat. The monk class just ignores both. It was (naturally) not in the original setting, just like the paladin. Here are my proposed changes to the athas.org class: Flurry of blows: like in the standard pathfinder rules Unarmed damage: 1st–3rd 1d6 4th–7th 1d8 8th–10th 1d10 Skill Boost (Su): The psionic monk can expend her psionic focus to gain a +5 bonus to a Acrobatics skill check. This bonus increases to +10 at 5th level and +15 at 9th level. You must decide whether or not to use skill boost prior to making a skill check. If the check fails, you still expend your psionic focus. AC Bonus (Ex): NO! Unlock Feat: The psionic monk unlocks more of her potential. She gains a bonus feat from the following list: Combat Reflexes, Deflect Arrows, Combat Expertise, Greater Psionic Fist, Improved Grapple, Power Attack, Rapid Metabolism, Stand Still, Stunning Fist, Up the Walls. A psionic [U]monk need to have any of the prerequisites normally[/U] required for these feats to select them.
