Unchained Android Monk - DBZ

[WilliamInnocent]

Now before jumping on my case this isn't a conversion. I don't one specific character. I want to pull from the concept and put it into a character and build my own history.

This is just mechanically speaking. Which feats should I worry about & which multi class should I take if any.

Alignment: LE | Race: Android

The base class will be Unchained Monk

Due to its martial prowess and Ki Powers.

Ki Powers that will make the character::

Level 4: Ki Metabolism (2 hours for full rest less eating, very android and helps with keeping guard)
Level 6: Elemental Fury (Elemental Damage)
Level 8: Wind Jump (Flying to your targets Sounds DBZ to me)
Level 10: Formless Mastery (Bonus on AC, Attack Rolls, Damage Rolls)
Level 12: Diamond Soul (SR, used for Ki Volley)
Level 14: Diamond Resilience (DR? Why not)
Level 16: Ki Volley (Deflect a spell, knocking it back)
Level 18: Elemental Burst (20d6 Elemental Damage)
Level 20: Quivering Palm (Willing Instant Death)

With the Ki Powers and the Style Strike I believe the Unchained Android Monk is well rounded due to only class features and race but I think it is missing something. What I believe is missing is what makes Dragon Ball Z amazing and it is their transformations.

Dipping Into Hunter

This is where i was thinking about 1 level of Feral Hunter

The Feral Hunter would shine at level 4 being able to have Permanent Animal Focus then to Wild shape.

Wild Shape: Medium animal, you gain a +2 size bonus to your Strength and a +2 natural armor bonus.

Animal Focus: Claws of a Tiger: The creature gains a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity.

Level 1 would be perfect for infinite animal focus for an infinite buff.

Would level 4 be worth loosing "Elemental Burst (20d6 Elemental Damage)" as a Ki Power?

Give me your thoughts.

I will say that Formless Mastery is complete garbage for a PC. It is only effective against an opponent that is using a style feat stance.

How many NPCs use style feats?

That makes sense i dont believe any if not one or two that i would come accross. I will have to look at other ones for replacing it.

[WilliamInnocent]

Id replace it with

Abundant Step:

A monk with this ki power can slip magically between spaces, as if using the spell dimension door. Using this ability is a move action that consumes 2 points from his ki pool. The monk's caster level for this effect is equal to his monk level. He cannot take other creatures with him when he uses this ability. A monk must be at least 8th level before selecting this ki power.

I would treat it as instant transmission.

Maybe you should take a look at the Serpent-Fire Adept archetype

[Entryhazard]

Blood Crow Strike from the Qinggong powers (that an unchained Monk should be able to take) should be a good representation of the Ki attacks

[Ventnor]

Ki Leech seems like a good fit, if you include the Androids that steal life energy to power themselves. It's kind of a shame that Vampiric Touch isn't a Qinggong power, since that would also fit.
