[QUOTE="Esker, post: 7933221, member: 6966824"] If you are committed to Lizardfolk, you might consider asking your DM whether they'd be ok with you moving one of the +2 from CON into DEX. I would think most reasonable DMs would allow you to do that when you're taking a race for flavor reasons (and clearly not picking it to powergame). Other than that, as a Kensei, keep in mind that your melee weapon can be wielded with two hands as long as it doesn't have the heavy property; in particular, as a Kensei, this can be a versatile weapon, like a longsword, battleaxe, or warhammer. And because it is free to switch between a one- and two-handed grip, using it with two hands doesn't prevent you from immediately also making unarmed strikes. So I'd take your pick of one of those three for your melee weapon, and may as well pick longbow as your ranged weapon. Then when you can, get in and whack enemies with your sword then punch them. Or, if you want more defense, use one of your regular attacks for an unarmed strike so you get agile parry AC bonus. If you can't close to melee or are low on HP and want to stay back, fire longbow shots and boost the damage with Kensei's shot. [/QUOTE]
