    Default New Monk Ki weapons.

    Ok number crunchers/build masters....I personally cant think of anything so I figured I'd throw it to you guys....any way to exploit this? Have Fun

    - Zen Archery now allows Shortbows and Longbows to be treated as monk ki weapons.
    - Zen Archery is now considered a Monk Bonus Feat.

    Zen Archery as a bonus monk feat is a trap.
    For Zen Archery to even be considered as a feat choice, one must dump dex.
    Monks don't dump dex.
    Zen Archery is a waste of a feat.

    Not to mention that using a bow.... as a monk.... is an especially poor choice in and of itself.

    Zen Archery (same as WSS) is not for Monks. It's for /monk. So you can stay centered and keep monks stance (fire for STR, wind for DEX). Its for Exploiter type builds.

    to be more specific it is for fvs/monks and cleric/monks that have 0 dex and super high wis and use the longbow faith thingy and wanna hit stuff endgame while they aren't healing/nuking. it is not for exploiters or any str/dex users.

    If it allowed one to build up Ki from ranged hits / and bust out light monk combos with a bow in hand...

    I would see an appeal to it.

    Clonks and Favonks usually splash Monk for Evasion and need a decent Reflex to take advantage of it. If they don't care about Evasion then they may be best able to make use of Zen Archery.
