Reaping Mauler

[James McMurray]

Your paladin lost his abilities because of something another character did?

Sounds like the GM needs a kick in the jigglies.

 

[PallidPatience]

More like a knife to the jigglies. That's just being an on his part.

And I'd say do what's fun for everyone. If it's more fun to have him kill something single-handed, then do it.

 

[Ogrork the Mighty]

I think it's open to debate. If the opponent is significantly more powerful, then make it a party victory in which the monk plays a key role. If the opponent is not that much more powerful than the monk, make it single combat.

Remember, just b/c it's larger doesn't mean it's a challenge for the monk.

 

[Jhaelen]

It definitely NOT requires defeating an enemy single-handedly, since that's not what the requirement says. I wouldn't argue with a DM who house-ruled it, though - as long as the DM in question is aware it IS a house-rule

Agreed.

Prerequisites like this seem strange to me. If your DM is down with you taking the PrC, you're gonig to make the prereq without too much trouble. If your DM isn't down... well he should just say no and move on.

 

[James McMurray]

What if he's down with it as long as there's an appropriate level of challenge involved?

 

[bbarrington]

Just have him coldcock a horse. Viola! Pre-req met.

 

[James McMurray]

Or cast reduce person on him and have him cold cock a pony or a dog.

 

[Gerion of Mercadia]

Compromise? The monk must strike the killing blow?

 

[SorvahrSpahr]

that doesn't sound that right...the party would de all the work and then the monk would just punch the lights out of the creature...I'd say if it's a very pwoerful creature, party win counts as long as the monk takes a significative role in the battle. Just a so-so creature? let him fight single-handed
