I'm including these feats here because I suspect they'd be a popular choice for multiclass fighter/monks (especially those who didn't want to pursue Dragon School martial arts). Are these balanced?Kensei [General]Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Fighter Level 4th+Trained to wield a chosen weapon as an extension of yourself, you can attack with extraordinary quickness and grace when unrestricted by armor.Benefit: Choose a single melee weapon, such as the longsword. You must have taken both the Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization feats with that weapon. You gain an additional +1 bonus to attack rolls with that weapon. When taking the full attack action with that weapon, you may make additional, iterative attacks at every -4 interval of your base attack bonus. Thus, a character with a base attack bonus of +9 may make three attacks, at +9/+5/+1 (before applying other bonuses). You cannot use this feat while wearing armor, or when using a shield.Focused Strike [General]Prerequisites: Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Kensei, Fighter Level 4th+, Wis 15+Your dedication to your favored weapon allows you to strike with an almost mystical focus.Benefit: When using the Kensei feat while attacking with a weapon, you may maximize your rolled damage a number of times per day equal to your base attack bonus. For example, a weapon that normally causes 1d8 points of damage now causes 8 points, plus bonuses. You must declare this ability before you determine damage for the attack. Additional damage from critical hits, and extra damage from sneak attacks, flaming weapons, and the like, is not maximized.</blockquote>
