So, If I die and I am brought back to life and still have my bonded item, it will revert back and I don't have to make a concentration check? I hope this is the case. No Ritual, no waiting, etc. Only when you lose it or its destroyed. As you can tell I am a bit of novice.

This seems to be a gray area?

So you are saying
"If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item."

A wizard will not have to make a concentration check when he is resurrected to restore the arcane bond? The arcane bond is automatically re-established when he comes back to life?

How do you explain the following then?

"The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object's owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type."

As it is written it looks like you lose the arcane bond... am I reading this wrong?

Let me get this straight...

You are in the middle of campaign and you die... you lose you bond with your item, you lose you extra spell per day and you have to role a check every time you cast a spell until you get back to town wait 7 days to perform the ritual? That seems a bit excessive as compared to losing your familiar?

Bump? Anyone on this?

to OP:

I have read the guide and love it. Have you considered adding a section about Monk Vows and how they can be integrated with the character build concepts? With the ABP system, the vow of poverty + others is now a potential option for a build. Thoughts?

Bumping post, looking for thoughts on this?

Revel,
Would you ever consider updating the guide to incorporate the Guide to the Talented Monk? It would be interesting to see what you come up with.

I made a MoMS using the Talented Monk SGG system. Looking for a critique on this. I was able to still maintain the flurry of blows. It does seem to be a bit overpowered by gaining access to 5 styles before Lvl 20 with a lot room to burn.

I recently purchased the SGG Talented Monk, and it is awesome. Best way to customize your own Archetype. Couple of questions.

When using a monk weapon, the character can strike with a weapon using a flurry. However, they will use a damage table that progress with their level. So a 12th level monk, can throw Shurikens and deal 2d6 points of damage instead of 1d2. This is a huge difference.

This seems a bit over powered as compared to the Core rules. I would like to get your take on this.
