Also pay attention to the extra Skill Tricks in Dragon Magazine #357 when considering your skill tricks. Use Skill Tricks from Complete Scoundrel, especially the mobility based ones, and the tumbling stuff. Use flaws to pick up more feats if you can. Make it a more monk and zen focus sort of thing.

This lets you do a full attack after a charge with one of your weapons - perhaps Unarmed Strike or Claw or Bite? It depends what form you will be in where you don't have Pounce.Ĭonsider, refluffing Whirling Frenzy as something other than how it is described. Make sure to pick up some of the Wild Shape improving feats, like Dragon Wild Shape (Draconomicon), Exalted Wild Shape (Book of Exalted Deeds), Frozen Wild Shape (Frostburn), or even Assume Supernatural Ability (Savage Species), and Multiattack (SRD/Monster Manual).įor the times where you don't have Pounce or lots of attacks on a standard action (cough Cryohydra) via Wild Shape, you might want to consider the Lion Tribe Warrior feat from the book Shining South. Make sure to pick up the Extra Rage feat from Complete Warrior, for more Whirling Frenzies! Maybe even Extra Smiting from Complete Warrior for more Sacred Strikes, if the DM lets it work on those. Choose something that lots of monsters use, like Fire or cold or whatever.Ĭonsider trading Resist Nature's Lure with some things taken from the Planar Druid substitution level in Planar Handbook, or the Iron Constitution option in the Cityscape Web Enhancement.
Use Invisible Fist option from Exemplars of Evil. (Note how that particular substitution does not specifically say it replaces Still Mind, which you already traded out, unlike some other stuff in that book - it is just a substitution level.) Use the lvl3 Monk Substitution level from Champions of Valor. Get permission from the DM for it to work on Natural Attacks as well. Choose Ilmater, and Fight with Unarmed Strike. Use Sacred Strike from Dragon Magazine 346. Trade Rage for Whirling Frenzy from the SRD/UA, it is a barbarian ACF. (Get permission for Wild Monk and Raging Monk to combine, they normally don't, but the overlaps are minor) Use Raging Monk, from Dragon Magazine #310. That gets you Wild Shape, so you can dump dex and str.

Like how the Wild Monk gave Wild Shape from a Druid the Holy Monk gave features of a Pally (or was it Cleric.?) to a Monk in exchange for some feats. Just out of curiosity.Īs for the Holy Monk it was another Dragon Magazine alternate for the monks. Not an evil character either but I'll still need to go take a look at the Soul Eater PrC now. Player wasn't interested in that (damn, he's picky.).
Whether or not this applies to a Monk's unarmed strike, or if it takes a standard action isn't clear, but it can be a really flavorful way to boost power.īy Holy Monk do you mean the Holy Strike ACF from Complete Champion, or are you talking about a different option?īy Holy Monk do you mean the Holy Strike ACF from Complete Champion, or are you talking about a different option?I've read up on the shou disciple. If you're waiving alignment restrictions (or are fine with an evil character) the Soul Eater from Book of Vile Darkness is arguably one of the most powerful Monk PrCs, as it states that your touch inflicts a negative level on the target, with no save. It's not a complete list, but it's pretty good about the options available.įor PrCs that can give Monks a power boost or some uniqueness, Shou Disciple from Unapproachable East allows Flurry of Blows in Light Armor, has a full BAB, and gives a faster Unarmed Strike damage progression which stacks with the normal Monk. If you're looking for general ACFs for the Monk, check out /go/thread/view/75882/19872054/Alternative_Class_Features_III.
