A friend told me that the monk is a jack of all trades and master of none. This did not seem bad thing. As in any other category, depending the member of party, and the "color" of the campaign, be a jack of all can be a good thing.

However, a monk is a wrestler, you need a high strength, wear no armour, you need a high DEX; Everyone wants a high CON; skills are an important part of his repertoire, you need a high INT, extraordinary and supernatural abilities depend of wisdom, so also need high WIS

5 of 6. Less would have a wonderful character in any other category.

What comes is only tested up to level 5, I'm open to suggestions.

Change in feats

Improved Unarmed Strike: Same MDJ plus: A character can use Dexterity bonus (if any) in place of STR bonus on attack, damage rolls and maneuvers that make unarmed.

Stunning Fist: Same but MDJ and using the INT bonus instead of SAB for the Fortitude saving throw

Changes in category Monk:

A monk is proficient with all weapons with special "monk"

Obviously, he could use his DEX bonus instead of his STR when using Flurry of Blows

The monk uses her INT bonus (if any) for features:

AC Bonus
Ki Pool
Quivering Palm

Changes in weapons

All weapons with the monk descriptor: Any character can use the DEX bonus instead of STR, to attack rolls and damage if the character also has the Improved Unarmed Strike feat. You can´t use one and a half DEX bonus in monk weapons wielded with both hands under this option.

Change in the magical weapon

All weapons with focus Ki property, are considered monk weapons even if they normally are not.

Sorry my bad English (google is to blame)

Monks have a religious background (as the Buddhist monks) or are just special fighters? Depends on the archetype or previous history of the pj?

When I read the APG, I believed that a witch has access to the common list of spells and particular list of your patron.
I assumed that a witch without the resistance patron can not use miracle.

But in the advanced player guide, I noticed that many of the spells guaranteed by a partycular patron, were already in the open list

For example: At healing patron spell list: "mass cure
critical wounds" or in enchantment patron list: dominated monster...

Are typos?

Some of the new spells as unnatural lust, appear as enchatment patron´s spell. I guess it restricted to the appropriate patron. But the spell list of chapter 5, he said only witch 2.

Are these spells available to all witches or only those with the right patron?

Can a witch learn a spell warranted by another employer?
