Hi Folks,

Am I missing something or does the Investigator talent, Unconventional Inspiration, have absolutely no function at all? It seems to imply that Inspiration doesn't work with all skills. Yet having read and re-read Inspiration there's nothing there that implies a limit to which skills it will work with. It doesn't even say it won't work with unskilled skills. So needless to day I'm a bit mystified.

Check out the soundtrack for Black Sails. It has a very unique sound that would work well.

IMPORTANT NOTE

What ever form the ability for monks to add weapon and/or armor enhancements takes it should NOT take up a body slot. The Monk should not take a penalty to gain the same bonuses as other classes. Hand wraps should be able to be worn under gloves. Bangles should be able to be worn under (over?) gauntlets.

Someone mentioned that a Monk's unarmed strikes are more than just their hands and that hand wraps wouldn't convey the bonuses to all the body parts. Simply, we just view the "wraps" as a focus that conveys the abilities to the Monk's whole body. Admittedly this may lead to a monk doing +3 vorpal tongue strikes but to me that just sounds like the beginnings of a really neat villain for my campaign.

OK,

I've really liked what Pathfinder has been doing but the new Monk just doesn't cut it. Admittedly there has been some attempt to correct previous failings but a Monk without a full BAB and only a D8 hit die will always fail to compete with other melee combatants.

The ki pool changes miss more often (aka flurry of blows) to misses even more often. Add this to Maneuver Training and it seems they are bending over backwards to do everything BUT increase the BAB. Why make such a complicated system for such a simple fix.

I explained it this way:

1. Zellara's deck is stolen.
2. Her son steals it back.
3. Lamm has Zellara's son killed for stealing from him.
4. Zellara uses the deck to find Lamm.
5. Zellara goes to confront Lamm (with the deck on her person) and is killed.
6. The deck and cards the players encounter when they meet Zellara are ILLUSIONS!

Made sense to me.
