Red Mantis Monk Archetype

[Caim01]

Hi folks,

I have been playing around with creating a Red Mantis Monk archetype but other than replacing the normal monk melee weapons with saw tooth sabre and amending the list of monk bonus feats to include two weapon fighting, weapon finesse etc I am unsure what changes to make. Clearly the Red Mantis' signature 'Prayer Attack' needs to replace one or more of the normal monk abilities but I am undecided as to which monk ability or abilities it should replace. Your input would therefore be most appreciated.

Start with the weapon adept monk archetype.

Add weapon prof Saber

add the quingon archetype stuff to everything not changed.

trade perfect strike for the prayer attack.

done?

dont worry about twf oif you keep FOB. there is never going to be a need for both sine they replicate eachother (FOB is better since it has a better "BAB")

instead of twf, perhaps, mantis style?

Instead of TWF, have the archetype treat them as a monk weapon. FoB is essentially TWF.
