There's a character in the Kingmaker game I'm running with Drunken Master of the Four Winds, but he didn't go for the sacred mountain. If he picks the monkey form at high level he'd be like a drunk monkey king from Forbidden Kingdom! The movie DOES feature a drunken immortal monk :)

I... I'm just speechless. I related this build to a friend of mine who was over at my place tonight for my game, and he turned beet red, laid his head down on the table, and just shook for about ten minutes. I'm not sure if he was laughing or crying, but either way, he was touched. XD

Interesting.
Are you going with cold or electricity for your Elemental Fist? Considering you already have Earth and Fire (or firewater, at least ;-P), are you going for Air or Water for the third element?

Interesting.
Are you going with cold or electricity for your Elemental Fist? Considering you already have Earth and Fire (or firewater, at least ;-P), are you going for Air or Water for the third element?
I was going to go with air for his elemental fist because I think that the alcohol would count towards both Fire and Water as it were. Having mastered all of the elements he becomes an immortal being at level 20
I was planning on going Aspect of the Tiger as well, mainly because of the thought of him pounce charging 200 feet in a round and then being immobile brings to mind the age old question. "What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?"
Ok here is what I am thinking. Start of by popping slow time and chugging a couple drinks if his is not already a little bit tipsy. AotT charge and pounce a guy and the movement doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. Light the guy up with a couple elemental fists and then breathe fire on everyone else he did not just tear into little pieces. Afterwards dump a more Ki point for DR 12/ -
Also, I absolutely LOVE the idea of a bouncer trying to kick him out of the bar. Oh so many lulz to be had.

I've always loved halflings for martial characters, and now with the underfoot trait it becomes an even better option.*steals idea*
Now that halfling monk I've been wanting to make will be truly awesome...
Halfling: :Why are you laughing?"
Human: "Because you're a halfling barbarian! What are you gonna do, whack my knee?"
Halfling: *rages* *slams hammer into human's groin* *leaves rage* "I think I've proven my point."
Human: *whimpers/blacks out*

In other related news- My game that I plan on starting up here in a few months yet (Finishing up an AP right now) has suddenly gotten WAY easier to justify. I am running a game where each player starts off at level 2, where their first level is required to be Bard. After the first level it is up to them which way the want to take it but that first level has to be Bard. The party will all be members of a traveling band that does adventuring gigs on the side when cash-flow is at a down-swing.
So far 2 of my players are decided. I have a Elven Detective Inquisitor, and a (Single Classed) Human Street Performer.
My group is having a hard time settling on a name, right now they are favoring "The Goodberries."
Level 1- Elemental fist replacement for Stunning Fist
Level 2- Iron Monk replacement for Evasion
Level 3- Drunken Ki replacement for Still Mind
Level 4- Bastion Stance replacement for Slow Fall
Level 5- Iron Limb Defense and Drunken strength replacements for High Jump and Purity of Body
Level 9- Adamantite Monk replacement for Imp Evasion
Level 11- Drunken Courage replacement for Diamond Body
Level 12- Slow Time replacement for Abundant Step
Level 13- Drunken Resilience replacement for Diamond Soul
Level 17- Aspect Master and Vow of Silence replacements for Timeless body and Tongue of Sun/Moon
Level 19- Firewater Breath replacement for Empty Body
Level 20- Immortality replacement for Perfect SelfAre you ready for it?
Also, I would like to play him as a Halfling with Low Blow and Underfoot traits. Of course using the Monk favored class option as well. Bullied as a child and with a Magical Talent with Mage Hand.
I love you.
Like. Seriously. That is the most amazing idea I've seen. I would have to play it Lawful good. Make the paladin look bad. That would be the epitome of the pure perfection that monks seek.
Now I just need someone to DM a random new campaign.. So I can play that. Bravo man. Bravo.
I usually hate the monk, but this? This is just beautifull.
