Unchained Monk Kasatha


Advice


Ok as the title may have informed you I wanted to make myself a Unchained Monk Kasatha.

This is my first attempt at the Unchained Monk. I have been previously playing the Sacred Fist Kasatha and may actually Gestalt the two when I get a chance to later.

We roll stats in my group 4d6, drop lowest, reroll 1s so this made me have some very good rolls.

now is there anything I really should be weary of with the new monk?
My first level feat is going to be Multiweapon fighting allowing me to make 4 attacks a round.

With flurry this is 4 attacks at a +1 to hit each from my BAB +Str which makes this really lethal compared to a Scared Fist which takes the normal -2/-2/-2/-2 its first level.

Str: 16
Dex: 18 [+2]
Con: 13
Int: 15
Wis: 18 [+2]
Cha: 10

My AC will be 22 at level 1 and a 13 HP

Yeah, this doesn't work. Flurry only allows one extra attack at level one and you can only stack it with haste and similar effects -- it doesn't stack with other sources of extra attacks from having multiple weapons.

Yeah, your attacks would be the same as a sacred fist (-2 + full BAB). You don't get the nifty new flurry with those two extra arms, just multiweapon fighting. You DO get full strength damage from your unarmed attacks though.


Ah so what you are saying is it is pointless to use a Kasatha with the Monk Unchained, you are right it does not say it works as TWF like the previous one did.

Not useless, just not as good as you thought. As I pointed out, your unarmed attacks still do full damage so it's not all bad. It's just that flurry type abilities have two 'hands' build in.


Useless for a Kasatha, a Human or anyone else is more suitable for this.
Also I do believe regular monk says there is no such thing as Offhand for an unarmed strike so you should always be doing full Str to damage when unarmed.


To late for an edit.
I just realized it doesn't matter. I do not HAVE to flurry. I get Full BAB, and I full str anyway just because there is no offhand for a monk striking unarmed. So yeah a Kasatha monk who doesn't use Flurry of Blows is still WAY better then a normal monk. Four attacks at Full BAB under normal Multiweapon Fighting. (Jason confirmed this in his Ask Jason thread)

Hi! Could you please point me to where Jason said that?

I have been through his entire thread and could not find it.

Much appreciated
