[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 2657821, member: 2804"] I agree that its your attributes that make you so tough. Not necessarily the VoP. However, one other thing to consider is whether the DM gives out the appropriate amount of magic for the PC's levels. Many DMs favor a low-magic game and tend to be somewhat stingy with magic items. If you use the VoP feat, but the other PC's aren't getting the magic they should be for their character level, then you probably are overpowered in relation to the other PCs. One other thing to consider, is that I believe that any character who possesses one or more Exalted feats, basically has to live by the same code as a paladin with some slight modifications and allowances for alignments and such. Since you are a monk, if I was your DM I would require you to be LG and pretty much act like a paladin in all situations. Furthermore, you would still request your share of the treasure, including magical treasure. You wouldn't use it, of course, but you would keep it in a sack and donate it to your church when you go back to town. If the DM is still really concerned about the feat, he can take it to the extreme. Basically say that you are not allowed to even accept potions or beneficial spellcasting from the group. But I don't think that a +4 level adjustment is the best solution. [/QUOTE]
