Do you have to move in a straight line for a spring attack? For example, with a charge attack the text says you have to move in a straight line towards your target but spring attack doesn't seem to have that restriction. Can you spring attack around corners?
Ivory Flesh is a third party spell that provides DR 5/daylight. Since daylight doesn't generally do damage what does this mean? Do you lose the dr in daylight?
While I've always enjoyed playing monk characters I've always had a beef with their damage dropping dramatically when they pick up a weapon. I had an idea for a simple monk variant or archetype that might address that issue. The only change would be that a monks damage dice stays at 1d6 instead of increasing as he gains levels. Instead they would get a precision damage bonus equal to their monk AC bonus that is used with unarmed attacks and monk weapons. The monk will still not be able to use special Ki attacks with their weapons unless the weapon has the Ki Focus special ability. The advantage is that the monk gains the ability to use magic or mastercraft weapons at higher levels without reducing the amount of damage they deliver. An 8th level monk normally does 1d10 damage for an average of 5.5 damage per hit. With this variant they would do 1d6+2 for an average of 5.5 damage per hit. Max damage is reduced but min damage is increased. At higher levels the monks average damage would be slightly reduced but they would be able to make up the difference with a magic weapon or a weapon that delivers higher damage. Any thoughts? |
