What Feat Should I Choose?

[Ferret]

With stats that low I'd start again.

What? Those are nice stats!

STR 14-15
DEX 18-19
CON 12-13
INT 12-13
WIS 16-17
CHA 8-9

I disagree with the Weapon Focus. The only time I would take it is for a (slight) synergy with Power Attack, and even then there are much better feats.

Unbalancing strike, Falling Star, those are OK but the one I love is Freezing the Life Blood. Get Expert Tactician and work with your Rogue, he will love you for paralyzing guys left and right. Especially when one of you gets Death Blow.

Another option is the grappling feats. They can really fcxs up casters and the like, and work on many fighter types too. Fighters usually don't expect you to grab them and can become flustered. With Spring Attack later you can leap right past the Mages protective line, grab him, and shake him like a wet rat so he can't cast.

I'd say Weapon Focus (Unarmed) because you will get use of it multiple times per round (with every attack, and monks get lots of them).

Also, Either Expertise or Power Attack. How's your AC? If you are getting hit too much go for Expertise. If you feel like you are not doing enough damage, go for Power Attack

Naw, Ferret's right, they suck. With Int 1, he can barely talk! Str 2? A first-level wizard could beat him in an arm-wrestle!

Oh, and the negative Charisma? I don't think that's even allowed. Anything with a Cha of 0 is an object, not a character...

Sounds like a character I had for a while. Freeze 'em then Death Blow 'em.

DM killed my character really quickly.

Heh, I got a smackdown in the smack thread with a Monk/Ninja with expert tactician, Freeze, Way of the Scorpion and Death Blow. Kill any humanoid in the partial round

(Sniff.) What a ... a beautiful image. I'm overcome with emotion.

I've usually just tried to stun 'em, but this does sound like fun!

Shake him like a wet rat. Heh.

There are plenty of monk-specific prestige classes and feats in Oriental Adventures.

Hmm, how about a Mantis Leap/Spring Attack/Imp Grapple combo...

Mantis Leap in as a stunning charge, start a grapple as a free action. Then with the standard action pin, then leap away WITH the wizard. Proceed to pummel their wizard behind your own defensive line.

Gets even better with a level of Shadowdancer, noone will see WHERE you went with that stunned wiz. Expert Tactician would be nice too.

Yah, I love OA for monks
