[QUOTE="brehobit, post: 2621986, member: 12032"] OK, Was looking at Tattooed Monk from CW. Nice class actually, as I don't normally play monks, I'd never looked at it. The description says that all non-continuous abilites require a move action to activate. The move action thing got to me a bit. Things that bother me: For the Lion you gain a smite ability. Do you really need to use a move action? For the unicorn, you get to reroll a d20 once a day. I'm not even sure how you would use the ability to reroll a save or the like if it takes a move action, and I'm almost certain that wasn't their intent. For others, the move action thing seems uniquely powerful. The ability to heal (self or others depending on tatoo) as a move action is really really handy in a fight. I'd think it would take a standard action to _touch_ your ally. The ability to shadow walk 1/week as a move action is also really nice. Talk about running away in a fight.... As it is a SU ability, I don't even think it draws an AoO. *Wham* then leave. For some of these (Unicorn at the least) I think the RAW are not what they meant. For others (Lion) it makes it really weak. Thoughts? Anyone encounter any of these problems? Has anyone asked the sage? I didn't see anything in the errata. Mark [/QUOTE]
