Monk Change Feedback:

Logging into Lammania with my copied monk, and reseting my enhancements, I immediately noticed one teensy problem.

With the first rank stances and strikes given for free, there are -no- monk enhancements that can be taken with the first two points except for skill increases. Could some of the 3-point required enhancements be lowered to be taken on the first rank, so that we aren't forced into unwanted enhancements?

Those 'unwanted enhancements' are probably going to be prerequisites for the prestige enhancements if monks ever get 'em.

Yeah. Monks are going to need something to populate those low level Action points.

I reset my enhancements and was quite shocked at the lack of options even after you get a few points in. Let us hope that this was done with the thought of monk path(s); however I hope the current purposed changes would not go through until said path(s) are provided.

Meh. Concentration I, something from your race for 1 pt (humans -- versitility, halflings -- saves, dunno for the rest) opens up Monk Wisdom I and you're now spending APs like a wildman.

Yea I knew we wouldnt actually gain anything, 5 extra points yea right. Have to invest them into stuff we dont need or want. If some of these enhancements are going to be required for our new PrEs please provide us with some more info. If you cant tell us what the PrE (long past due) at least give us what the prerequisits are going to be.

Has anyone tested weighted handwraps on Lamannia to see if it affects the stunning fist DC yet?

My monk currently has a 30 DC on SF, with 5% weighted that would put him up to a 40 DC.. I can't see many mobs saving against that.

The Two Weapon Fighting and Two Handed Fighting feats have been added to the martial arts feat list available to monks at levels 1, 2, and 6.

do you still need to pass requirement, maybe over powered to get greater x fighting by lvl 6, but would be greate to have both twf and thf and still improved crit.

the most fair deal is at least to make your center bab count so you can get improved x fighting at lvl 6 like ranger.... wich gets all martial class feats for free (not in PnP)

lastly i think we should be able to have both twf and thf as QS counts as flurry in PnP, maybe monky code thf line only for QS if you have TWF, visa versa.

I'll gladly use all 6 feats to get there but atm theres no possible way without dropping improved crit.

I'm interested in seeing if this was ever fixed as well...

Has anyone had a look at the new premade paths for monks?
Might tell us a bit about the new PrE classes???
