Monk lvl 20 and their Perfect Self


Rules Questions


Ive always wondered about this, so at lvl 20 you gain perfect self. here is the literal quote from pathfinder Core rule book.

"Perfect Self: At 20th level, a monk becomes a magical
creature. He is forevermore treated as an outsider rather
than as a humanoid (or whatever the monk’s creature
type was) for the purpose of spells and magical effects.
Additionally, the monk gains damage reduction 10/
chaotic, which allows him to ignore the first 10 points of
damage from any attack made by a nonchaotic weapon or
by any natural attack made by a creature that doesn’t have
similar damage reduction. Unlike other outsiders, the
monk can still be brought back from the dead as if he were
a member of his previous creature type."

My question is he is a outsider for the purpose of spells and magical effects, could some one tell me or give me a short list of what specific spells and magical abilities they are refering to?

Thank you


Mostly this refers to spells with names that are "blank person". Those spells will now fail to work on the monk as they all require a creature of the humanoid type; the monk is now an outsider and thus immune.

Edit: Oh, and bane weapons or spells/effects that duplicate the bane effect, as well as ranger favored enemies.


Thank you this has really helped me out
