Three Worlds: Monk (Big Change)

[Shedeo]

I like what you've done with Water, I think it works.  Especially since I know that one was giving you some troubles.

That said, I think I can more than likely come up with something to assist you for the perfect ability, but at the moment my brain isn't working.

Sorry to say I can't help you out in terms of scaling damage, outside of 1d6 per odd-numbered level might be a good place to start for "extra damage" from any special ability. It certainly worked for the rogue and warlock. Then just playtest and adjust accordingly.

I have to say, I love what you've done. I'm a huge fan of monks in general, but it always bugged me how they kind of weren't very customizable.

Wow, talk about True resurrection. I stopped bumping this because I, sadly, set it aside the moment 4E was announced. I haven't had the desire to muck with mechanics anymore since then.

I did come up with a fairly reasonable, I think, mechanic to scale damage. For the powers that simply add extra damage or just deal damage and nothing else, they will deal 1d6 damage for every 2 monk levels. For the powers that deal damage and have a special effect, they will deal 1d6 damage for every 4 monk levels. This is loosely based on the thematics from ToB (my own interpretation of the thematics), but reduced by half effect since these effects are unlimited (I decided against using the focus mechanics, because the abilities would be used few and far between).

I'll spend some time in the coming days to see about finalizing the ki power list, so this class can be usable.

Yeah... followed the link in your sig. This is the only part (I think) of the table of contents that was a link.

Also, nixing the focus thing? Why's that? I can see why you'd do away with the concentration check portion of it, but it always seemed kinda nifty outside of that.
