[QUOTE="Iry, post: 8023092, member: 6777378"] I made a "Monk of Flowers". All my abilities were themed on flowers, both beautiful and poisonous. I was a vuman with mobility because I didn't want to waste any precious ki on disengaging. 16 Dex and 16 Wis, and I pumped Wis at 4th. Took Herbalism kit and made flower based healing potions. Way of Mercy is really good at whack-a-mole, since I could flurry then walk over to heal someone at 0hp. Miasma was hemlock and lily leaves. It's mostly a defensive ability that made me very tanky when I wanted to be, and more than once I popped it just for protection from ranged attacks while running from bad guys. If I had any ki left, I would throw out some minor healing before short rests. The "endless" minor healing was also useful during RP since I could tend to the masses (I gave them flowers and potpourri). I rarely used Hands of Harm. I just didn't have enough ki to waste, so I only really used it when someone was poisoned and I could crit. I'm sure you could do a nice burst at higher levels, but the extra damage never seemed as important as having another stun, another heal, or another miasma. Never made it to 8th. Scheduling issues.
