Yea, 10x Blackstorm. So it's for the defiler.

I'm familiar with the guide I just wasn't sure what is the topic of the current discussion.

Sorry, I got lost a bit.
Can someone introduce me to the kind of build you guys have been discussing on the past few pages?

Alright. So, basically the Ring of Telekinesis + swords trick could be done with pretty much every build (with a good attack roll)?

If you were to build an optimized melee-Monk, flavor aside, what build would you rather use? With middle levels in mind. What's your personal preference?

I haven't played Monks at all but I'm super-attracted to the flavor in general. Information on that topic is all over the place and a lot of it is outdated so I can use some help here, if you are in the mood.

Hi, Ravingdork --

First preface, thanks for sharing those awesome ideas.
Second preface, I have some questions regarding Ben Ganji, the "Blind"!

I fell in love with the flavor of this character (the choice of image helped a lot for that) but I'm not sure how does it work mechanically.

1. Why is the build realized at Level 15? The only feature that comes online that late (AFAIK) is "Quivering Palm". How is this an integral part of the build?... I feel like I'm missing something here. So, yeah how do you utilize Quivering Palm with this build?

2. I would like to play a similar character for the second part of Kingmaker campaign, starting at lvl 8. I would like to make some slight changes to the flavor but I have to be sure I understand how the build works first, and what parts of the it were "flavor choice" and what "mechanical optimization". Do you think the character could be competitive from lvl 8? The players and GM in my group are fairly cut-throat.

3. How do you make use of the flying Greatswords? I haven't play with these before and I have no idea how and what they do. Are these Dancing weapons? How do you activate them at the same time? Isn't that expensive? I don't understand...

4. Why Brass Knuckles? At what point do you use them over the Temple Sword?

5. What is your general combat routine with this character? What should one be doing pre-combat/first round, etc. Do you trip a lot? ;)

6. What is a Cold Iron Sphere? x)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out with this. Much virtual gratitude coming your way.
