Good Feats for Wisdom based monk?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Silver Crusade

I know of
Guided Hand
Snake Style
Mantis Style
Stunning Fist
Touch of Serenity.

Any other good ones?


There's plenty of other useful styles. Panther, Dragon or Crane for a start.

Monk or UnMonk BTW?

Sacred fist specifically.

I also need wisdom synergistic feats not just style feats

Kraken style allows you to add your wisdom damage to grapple damage...

There's honestly not much a monk can use wisdom for outside of Armor bonus or style shenanigans.


The panther style feats do require 15 Wis.

There's a bunch of feats like stunning fist which impose different conditions on a failed save with a Wis-based DC. Besides stunning fist itself there's dazing fist and staggering fist (+2 and +4 BAB required) and a bunch with +8 BAB or more required which are probably effectively out of reach.


theres one that lets you use wisdom to hit with a bow

my favorite is Punishing Kick (free with the Hungry Ghost archetype): Knock back- no save, or knock prone- save.

My [Hungry Ghost] Monk has Hand Wraps of Blinding Ki and Long-Arm Bracers, and Vicious Stomp. it's fun during a Flurry when enemies fall prone all around her.

Additional Traits for Wisdom of the Flesh and Cunning Liar, to give you more traits based on Wisdom?

Psychic Sensitivity.

Perception, Sense Motive, Heal, and Survival are all WIS based, and each has an occult skill unlock. It also, once you get the ki pool, gives you what is functionally Cloud Step for 2 ki (Sacral Chakra for a Fly speed for a turn, but you must hit the ground at the end of the turn).

Psychic Sensitivity, Empath, and Snake Style has been a fun combination in a game I'm in.
