[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 4319939, member: 6562"] Thanks, and I do hope it balances out. :) Exactly. You need to attack an enemy (to Mark it), and then you need to hit it again while it's Marked and while you still have a Move action left. So you can use your Mark as a "threat", since an enemy knows it can't tank you unless it wants to be Quivered. "Unarmed" would screw stuff up. Either the Monk would start to progressively suck more at level 5 (where magic weapons are expected), or he'd need to get free bonus goodies equal to a magic weapon (in which case he'd have a bunch of extra money). Monk melee weapons would be: unarmed, light blades, spears, staff. Monk ranged weapons would be: dagger, javelin, shuriken. Best Monk weapon would be either the longspear or the katar, though the rapier looks nice too. (A Monk with a rapier sounds silly, but no more silly than a knight in fullplate with a rapier.) He's going the Implement + Weapon route, which I don't want to force on people. Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
