Sacred Fist and Epic Level Feats

[Amideus]

So the Sacred Fist archtype is supposed to be this new route for Paladins, and the hallmarks of this class are monk style bonuses focused on Cha, Monk unarmed scaling, and using ki to cast spells.

But something I noticed REALLY late into my SF life is that the epic feats for Improved Martial Arts and Vorpal Strikes, two things that are really important to a Handwraps focused Epic character require 12 Monk levels to gain access to...

They really couldn't just add Paladin to that requirement or remove it altogether? It feels like a HUGE oversight on top of the class having these weird half tank bonuses that still don't synergize with the actual tanking features (size every tank focused tree, feat, ED wants you to use a shield)

I wonder if there is going to be a Monk rework on the horizon and maybe they will make an update to those feats, because right now making an unarmed focused Sacred Fist feels REALLY REALLY bad when you can't access the two unarmed focused Epic Feats.

Sacred Fist should have access to these feats

This is a good point and suggestion!
