I always liked the idea of a monk that was able to do sneak attack damage because of specialized training in pressure points and muscle controll to spread the damage more internally than externally so I came up with a simple solution/idea. Figured I would put it on these boards so it can be under honest scrutiny. Anyway, here it is:

Dim Mak (ex): this functions exactly like a rogue's sneak-attack ability, but treat your monk levels as rogue levels. Sneak attack dice from other classes levels(such as rogue, vivisectionist alchemist, etc) count towards your total level for determining your total number of sneak attack dice used. Sneak Attack dice can only be added to bludgeoning weapons or natural weapons. Also increase the DC of your Stunning Fist by 1. This ability replaces Flurry of Blows.

I understand that a ninja could do a lot of this type of thing, but not at early levels, and I don't always want to have to be stealthy-type. I felt it was in all combatants interest to catch your opponents off guard to do better offensively, and monks are certainly combatants, and wise ones at that.

If anyone sees any problems with this or wants to add more effects or change it for whatever constructive reason, please chime in!

Santa has discovered a disturbing event in the world as of recent. Worst of all there is only a week left until Christmas day. He saw that various children who were the best behaved of the children on his nice-list, were being murdered one by one. He also noticed the disappearances of several of the worst behaved kids on the naughty-list.
Santa decided to investigate it himself so he went to the home of the next kid on the nice list. There he saw what terrible force has been doing these horrible acts. It was Naughty Ned, the first kid to ever make the naughty list, hundreds of years ago. He manifested in to what is known as the Bogeyman(Bogeyman with the advanced template), the terror of innocent children all over the world. He bested Santa and even stole the naughty and nice list from him. Naughty Ned had the help of the now even more corrupted naughty list children (advanced Quicklings).
Now Santa needs the help from his bravest little helpers (the PCs; level 9 Halflings), to stop Naughty Ned to protect the well-behaved children of the world. He even devised a way to turn Ned's minions back into normal children if they are captured alive. Can Santa's Helpers save Christmas? We'll have to find out.

Anyone got any cool ideas to add to this or change this?

So I was watching some movies that I haven't seen in a while; Bill and Ted, the first TMNT movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Clueless, and Airheads. And being a kid who grew up in the late 80's into the late 90's, Surfing, Skateboarding, saying things like "bodacious" "gnarly" "tubular" "dudes" "bogus" and eating pizza are things that are apart of my past (the good and the bad and the funny). I was inspired to write up a goofy and fun campaign full of the cliches of the media of my past(and my friends' past). So I came up with The Bodacious Babes of Cowabungia setting/plot/campaign. If any of you people also grew up with those kinds of things, and know of the themes I'm going for, please give me some ideas to add to it. Here is what I have so far:

-The Babes of Cowabungonia Story Background:
-The Kingdom of Cowabungonia is a rad kingdom. It is known throughout the land because of its righteous order and has the most bodacious babes of all the land. Other kingdoms and powers are jealous of Cowabongonia's babes, whom have always been sought after in most evil ways. The most righteous of knights of the kingdom are sworn to protect the kingdom (especially the kingdom's babes).
-The most evil of these powers that wishes to take the babes from Cowabungonia is Reginold the Red; a most unrighteous and evil red dragon (Mature Adult) who has been terrorizing the kingdom for decades. He organized other monsters with similar goals together in a group known as the Tubular Terrors.

Reginold the Red: The cunning leader who's favorite snacks are beautiful women, and who also deals with abyssal powers. He wants to release his bride-to-be from the binds of the Abyss, a Succubus Queen, but needs to sacrifice beautiful women to do so. He has 2 standard Succubi lackies to help his efforts.
-In-character voice: Tim Curry

The Tubular Terrors:
-Karate Kong(Dire Ape with boosted INT, and 7 levels of Monk): a monstrous ape that envies humans. He some how managed to acquire human intellect and train himself in the art of killer karate. He knows what a beautiful babe looks like and he wants them all for himself so humanity will envy him instead. He dwells in the freaky forest along with his monkey minions.
-In-character voice: Black Dynamite

-Slash and Stab(x2 Advanced Ogre Mages): sneaky and magical twin ogres who like to play pranks as much as they like to conquer humanity, and employ a large military of lesser ogres. They want to create a dynasty of their own brood, and thus they need the most beautiful of babes to breed with to create their future empire. The twins and their ogre hoard makes the cold mountains their base of operations. They made their castle into an icy skate park with tubes and half-pipes.
-In-character voice: warhammer orcs

-The Bogus Baron(Graveknight-Fighter 10): a knight that was so hunky-dory that every woman wanted him, but was so vain about his appearance that he desperately sought out immortality to avoid turning old; he found it, but it backfired because he became an undead knight. Now he is permanently ugly and smelly and is so bitter about it that he wants to make the rest of the world as ugly as he is. He commands an undead skeletal army in the Swamps of Reek.
-In-character Voice: Fabio (the male model)

-(Unrighteous)Ungara (Advanced Great Cyclops): the Cyclops Queen that is most ugly, but she desires to be the most beautiful female in all the land. She routinely captures women and demoralizes them until they admit and believe that Ungara is prettier than they. These women return with their souls and dreams crushed with false ideas that they are now ugly. Her domain is the western hills.
-In-character Voice: Bev Bighead from Rocko's Modern Life

Campaign start:
-The PCs just came back from a failed persuit of Reginold the Red. It turns out it was just an illusion to distract the best of the Knights Most Righteous of Cowabungia as the Tubular Terrors stole all of the bodacious babes. Now it is up to the Knights Most Righteous to band together and rescue the babes of Cowabungia from Reginold the Red and the Tubular Terrors.

-So there it is. The PCs are going to be 4-6 players, starting at level 9. No guns or classes/archetypes that use guns. Other than that they have to play good-aligned heroes. Anyone have any other cheesy villain ideas? Rules for a surfing contest ideas? Should Pizza have healing properties? Throw ideas at me please! Also sorry for the wall of text.
