Doesn’t necessarily affect your suggestion, but the nerfs to combat-maneuver feats hurt the monk badly in Pathfinder despite slight nominal improvements. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 17:34 | comment | added | Erik Burigo | Aaah! You intend a drawback compared to a full BAB variant, not a drawback compared to a vanilla monk. Now I got it. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | KRyan | It doesn’t have real BAB. That means a monk cannot take the feats she should, cannot do non-flurry/non-combat-maneuver attacks as well as she should, etc. etc., for absolutely no reason since the monk is already one of the weakest classes in the game. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 17:00 | comment | added | Erik Burigo | @KRyan Uhm... which drawbacks are you talking about? :O | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 5:01 | comment | added | KRyan | @doppelgreener I’ve upvoted valadil’s answer, though I think “proper melee character” is a (big) stretch. A full-BAB monk is an imbalanced class, but only in that it is still underpowered. It needs absolutely no further drawbacks. It, in fact, needs more advantages. | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 3:26 | comment | added | doppelgreener | @KRyan ok, but is there anything the author should do or an alternative you can suggest? | |
| Nov 12, 2014 at 2:52 | comment | added | KRyan | Ugh, this solution is the worst of both worlds: needlessly confusing and inconsistent, and an utterly unnecessary drawback to an already-massively-weak class. | |
