Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amator" data-source="post: 304056" data-attributes="member: 6579">Good timing...I was playing a nonstandard monk last night.  Much of it doesn't apply here, though, as the game system was a bastardization of 2nd ed AD&D and White Wolf.The idea was that the character started off as the standard meditate and fight unarmed(or with a staff) monk.  But that was brought to a halt when the city my monastery inhabited was sacked by Orcs(these orcs are organized raiders like the Mongol hordes) and I was captured and sold into slavery.  The guy who bought me and two other PCs was a mercenary outfitter and turned each of us into foot soldiers.  Shortly, my character developed a fighting style that was based on the use of quick drawing a short sword hidden in a staff.  Sort of a twist on Iaujitsu.  He was given an ability similar to sneak attack, but it only functioned when the sword was drawn from the staff.  If I had to represent it as a d20 feat, it would be like this.Surprise Strike(martial)You can draw a hidden weapon attack in the same motion, giving a damage bonus.Prerequisites: Quick Draw, Dex 13+Benefit: If you attack an enemy in the same motion that a hidden weapon is drawn, your attack deals an additional 1d6 damage. Special: This feat may be chosen mutliple times.  For each time this feat is chosen it must be applied to a new weapon.Now that I think about it, since this character is making that ability a defining feature, it may work better as a Prestige Class with ascending levels of damage, but there it is.  The character also found a spellbook(very rare on this world) after the party finished off an Ogre Mage, so he may dabble in magic.  No matter how he advances, he always spends time meditating, visits his master whenever possible, and donates most of his coin to the monastery or the poor.  He doesn't have too many of the standard monk abilities, though, as I had to buy each ability seperately.</blockquote>
