[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5369229, member: 35909"] The feat you're thinking of is Intuitive Attack. It is an exalted feat, so in addition to spending a feat, you have to be super duper double-plus good to qualify. And even then, it only helps attack rolls. Not damage, grapple, or anything else a monk needs strength for. As for MAD fitting thematically...if monk were the best class in the game, maybe it'd be ok if only the elite of the elite could be one effectively. Not my cup of tea for game balance, but whatever. But...even if you got many 16s and 18s and no one else had nearly as good stats (I use point buy, myself)...you'd STILL be merely equal to the next worst core class, Fighter. If they have the same stats as you? You still suck the most. Thread's kind of old, I'd just like to add that with each passing day I seem to find new examples of "holy crap, Pathfinder's designers [b]HATE[/b] monks!" I didn't even notice until two weeks ago...all physical stats are on a single item now and cost MORE to get multiple different boosts of (ie, 10k for str and dex +2, instead of 8k, can't do str +4 and dex +2, either, have to upgrade all at once). There's no text anywhere I can find for the +50% in wrong body slot and +100% for no body slot rules, either. Sure sucks to be a MAD class... And yes, it can't be said enough. The designers actually going in after the fact to add completely contradictory errata specifically to screw monks out of Improved Natural Attack is total bs. I think I'll add that sentence to every single post I make in this thread from now on, in fact. It really bears repeating... [/QUOTE]
