What archetypes go with the Qinggong Monk?


Advice

Dark Archive

So I was curious as to what archetypes stack with the previously stated one. This is a character for PFS and is either gonna be a Monk or Knife Master for some flavorful fun. I really want this monk to reflect a fighting style similar to the Fire Benders (mainly) and other benders from the Avatar series on Nickelodeon. I was thinking Four Winds or Hungry Ghost IF any of the archetypes go with it but wasn't sure hence my post so any and all feedback is welcome and thanks in advance =D

srsly though, it's compatible with every monk archetype as long as you don't replace a monk ability that your archetype needs to replace.

That is, if an archetype you want has an ability that needs to replace Slow Fall, you can't replace Slow Fall with a Qinggong power.

That still leaves a lot of room to play around in though! The Qinggong Monk is the only archetype that functions this way, so it's a very special case.

Acording to Herolab, Sensei is the only one that stacks with Qinggong.

Yeah, that's the thing that makes Qinggong such a great archetype; you get to mix-and-match what abilities you keep and which ones you swap out, instead of being stuck with a fixed package.

I would suggest mixing it with an archtype that gives extra ki though (so Hungry Ghost would be a good choice), since a lot of the Qinggong abilities can really eat up your ki.

Herolab is a 3pp, and thus is not authority on rules. The rule is, Qinggong monks don't replace anything they don't want to replace, so it can stack with almost every other archetype.

It effectively doesn't stack with Martial Artist, simply due to that Archetype not getting a Ki Pool, but does stack with everything else, I believe.
