Ideas for a new PrE for monks - Zen archer.

[Lemdog]

These are my thoughts and ideas for a new monk PrE when the monk pass rolls along in the somewhat distant future.

Here it is , feel free to disagree, but please do not be blatantly insulting of my work, and if you have to, explain why.

Core 1 - Your point blank shot extra damage is increased from 1(W) to 1.5(W)
Core 3 - +3 ranged and melee power
Core 6 - Your ten thousand stars may be used every 30 seconds instead of every 60 seconds.
Core 12 - Stun on the run - Acts like stunning blow with a ranged weapon - Stun an enemy with your bow or shuriken for up to 7 seconds. DC = 18 + ½ character level + Wisdom Mod. 12 Second Cooldown 1
Core 18- +8 ranged and melee power
Capstone - ‘You are a master of applying your inner strength and peace to a ranged tactical perspective’ +2 wis +2 dex. You gain +4 ranged power and while wielding bows you gain 20% doubleshot and 0.5(W). Your Ki arrows now gain a 5% chance to paralyze enemies with no save. (all 1 ap)

*Tensers Transformation (SLA). You can cast Tensers transformation as a spell-like-ability using ki. Costs 25 ki. Lasts 1 minute + 5 seconds per monk level. Tensers tranformation : Causes the caster to become a virtual fighting machine becoming stronger, tougher, faster, and more skilled in combat. You gain a +4 alchemical bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution, a +6 alchemical bonus to Armor Class, and proficiency with all simple and martial weapons. Your base attack bonus equals your character level. Your spellcasting ability is reduced, resulting in a -2 penalty to all spell DCs, -2 to your rolls to bypass enemy Spell Resistance, and doubling the cooldown of your spells.


Afterthought: I realize this tree may be a little OP at first, and i may make some adjustments to it. I also realize it may be a little too generic. Feel free to comment or give any feedback! This was also made with the intent to use shurikens and bows, but also to use a little bit of melee when the time is right. **Also note this is a very rough draft, if it wasn't already clear.
