Bladeforged Sacred Fist or Favored Soul

[Bacab]

Has anyone tried a Bladeforged Sacred Fist? I know I would have to use an LR Heart or ETR back to 20 and then choose SF.

I have always wanted to play Bladeforged, but never got around to it.

My final build will most likely be a Warforged Melee Arty and the bonus Repair Spell Power (from BF PL) seems nice (though, so does the Scourge Double Strike).

The issue is, I only have 1 regular Paladin life to go. And I don't want to "waste" a life. Also, only have one Favored Soul life left.

I figure my 3 Bladeforged lives would be:
One KotC PLD.
One 18FVS/2PLD that uses the Reconstruct from BF Tree and can ofc spam other heals for others.

I do have 1 WIZ and 1 Sorc life left, but I was gonna do those as a regular Warforged.

So I was curious if a Bladeforged Sacred Fist would work.
I was also wanting to maybe do a Q-Staff SF with BF. A 15PLD/3ROG/2FVS or 16/3/1 split.
I know I can't pick Aureon as a BF, so maybe I can't use a Q-Staff and stay centered as a BF SF unless I only use handwraps (or maybe could even be centered with a Greatsword?)

Anyone have any ideas or experience with this?

One more thing..I know repair Amp is broken atm.
I won't be TRing into this until that is addressed.
Hope it's soon!

You're not really wasting a life since they are separate PLs. The PLs for Sacred Fist is just shared with Paladin for the purposes of Completionist.

Sacred Fists have simple weapon proficiency which includess quartersstaff. Also quarterstaffs are monk (centering) weapon even if you aren't proficient so don't worry about that. The only thing Aureon does is make them favored weapons.

I know of a few people who have tried Blade Forged Sacred Fist and they usually went with VKF SWF dagger since you can make daggers centering weapons with VKF. Build is 18 SF,1 monk for access to stance feats, and 1 fvs for Divine Might.

Yeah I wasn't sure if a weapon had to be a "favored weapon" to be centered is all.

Example: MNK can use Handaxes, but you aren't centered with them

EDIT: oh by "wasting a life" I meant, I can't do 3 PLD lives in a row and benefit from all 3. I would only benefit from 1.
