The concept and personality traits are in my head, but I realized today I have no clue what race this guy is. It's never even crossed my mind. He was always just a style test, an imitation of Brad Wong, and a tribute to Bruce Lee. Human is obvious though I like the idea of almost everything else. He is not meant to be super he is meant to be a drunk so the way I see it there is no optimal choice on race. Please let me know if you have a race you like for this guy. Any suggestions are welcome as well as questions.

Hobgoblin, for sure.

I agree, gotta be a dwarf. Even better, his racial stats will make your Con 18 so you can qualify for Fast Drinker; getting drunken ki as a swift action is pretty nice. Then you'll just need to convince your DM to let you have an Everfull Mug or a Decanter of Endless Beer made out of adamantine and you're set!

On that note, I have some bad news on the Crane feats; those all have Dodge as a pre-requisite feat. So even with taking Crane Style as a bonus feat, you couldn't use the other two Crane feats due to the lack of Dodge.

Rearrange your feats as so:

1g Combat Reflexes
1b Crane Style
2b Crane Wing
3g Snake Style
5g Catch Off-Guard or Fast Drinker
6b Snake Fang
7g Fast Drinker or Catch Off-Guard
9g Monkey Style
10b Crane Riposte
11g Panther Style
13g Panther Claw
14b Janni Style
15g Improvised Weapon Mastery or Panther Parry
17g Panther Parry or Improvised Weapon Mastery
18b Janni Rush
19g Cartwheel Dodge?


Vanara. Drunken annoying monkey monk?? a tail that can add annoyance?? would be great to play

1 person marked this as a favorite.

I still like the hobgoblin, it is unexpected, and the stats mesh well.

Either a Dwarf (drunkenness etc.) or a Vanara. I gotta admit, seeing one of those things drunk would be freakin' hilarious. Too bad there's no bear-race, because all I can think of when somebody says "drunken monk" is a panda by the name of Chen Stormstout, from one of the extra campaigns from this old RTS called Warcraft 3...
