help maxing my ki pool...


Advice

Shadow Lodge

ok so im playing a 14 monk/2 rogue in an upcoming one shot. the goal is to have the most op character possible. now i dont want to reveal my build more then i need to, so im going to be vague on my build so far.

monk 14, wisdom modifier of 10 = 17 ki pool points
feat adds 2 (i dont know if im keeping this)
rogue ki pool=5 more points
5 vows (none of them are vow of poverty)=10 points

so far i have maxed my pool at 34, anyone know any ways of getting it higher?

**found a trait, thats 35 max**

Race?

im thinking vanaran
but i would need the hp over the 3 ki points, the gm willingly gave us max hp, and told us to bring 2 characters.

Why rogue?

Also, Tengu have a +2 Wisdom, and can add +1/4 point to your ki pool as a favored class bonus.

rogue ki pool:

" ...If she already has a ki pool, or gains a ki pool later, she gains half her Wisdom bonus (minimum 1) as bonus ki points to her ki pool. She can spend a ki point to gain a +10-foot bonus to movement until the end of her turn."

i would have just went ninja but you dont get the bonus to ki pool with ninja ki pool

Depending on the build, Shadowdancer may be a better fit, and can get the Ki Pool Rogue Talent.

Also, if you choose Tengu, then you should go Swordmaster/Scout Rogue.

hmm.. good advice, thanks.im going to see if i can make this work

Also, as a Tengu, you can select the Exotic Weapon Training alternate racial trait, and be proficient with some of the better monk weapons.

Well, Necklace of Ki Serenity will help.

What kind of focus are you taking with the ki pool?

well i remember why i forgot this, monks basically cant use it.

Grand Lodge

What do you want to do with all those Ki points?

Why would a monk not be able to use a Necklace of Ki Serenity?

Shadow Lodge

because an amulet of mighty fists is way, way better.

i cant say, but its OP as hell!
