[QUOTE="Velenne, post: 22941, member: 1856"] Looks great so far and I love the concept! Here's a few things I noticed: 1.) You need a name! :p 2.) It would seem that the monk is still gaining his speed bonus, monk ac, unarmed attack bonuses, and improved unarmed damage that a regular monk gets (sometimes even better than a monk). I may suggest limiting these greatly since the PrC is already giving the monk enhanced abilities beyond that of a single-class monk. 3.) When changing to the Elemental Form, does the character become an elemental equal to his HD? A medium elemental? What if he's a small monk? And the duration is PrC level TIMES Wis or plus Wis? It is written as level x Wis. I'm confused. Please elaborate. 4.) BY PELOR'S GOLDEN BALLS! They get five increases to unarmed damage?? Yikes!! See #2. 5.) I don't know where the BAB is coming from. It's not one of the three standard progressions: wizard (1/2 x lvl), cleric (3/4 x lvl), or fighter(1 x lvl). In addition, they're still getting all better saves. There needs to be some kind of tradeoff. Something a character would really be missing out on if he doesn't continue taking levels of monk, but balances out with the new abilities he's getting with the PrC. 6.) You might want to make the height and weight increases/decreases proportional. For instance, what if I'm playing a halfling (NAME) who takes the Air Chosen Element, rolls for his weight decrease, and ends up being weightless? 7.) All in all, it's a great concept but you may want to take a look at some of the monk PrC's from Oriental Adventures and Sword & Fist to see how WotC balances them out with the standard class. Keep with it though; I'm interested in seeing the final product! [/QUOTE]
