I'm looking for some help to build a monk build. They lost slow fall at 4th and 6th, they get abundant step at 6th level. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + Wisdom and 1 additional time at 5, 10, 15 and 20 levels. I'm not great at these things but here is what i was thinking. I could use some feedback.
At level 8th you replace slow fall 40ft with Dimensional Movement 1(as Dimensional Agility) - After using abundant step or casting dimension door, you can take any actions you still have remaining on your turn. You also gain a +4 bonus on Concentration checks when casting teleportation spells.
At 10th level you replace slow fall 50ft with Dimensional Movement 2(as Dimensional Assault) - As a full-round action, you use abundant step or cast dimension door as a special charge. Doing so allows you to teleport up to double your current speed (up to the maximum distance allowed by the spell or ability) and to make the attack normally allowed on a charge.
At 12th level you replace slow fall 60ft with Dimensional Movement 3(as Dimensional Dervish) - You can take a full-attack action, activating abundant step or casting dimension door as a swift action. If your do, you can teleport up to twice your speed (up to the maximum distance allowed by the spell or ability), dividing this teleportation into increments you use before your first attack, between each attack, and after your last attack. You must teleport at least 5 feet each time you teleport. A monk can use additional points from his ki pool to increase his speed before determining the total speed for this teleportation.
At 14th level you replace Bonus feet and slow fall 70ft with Dimensional Movement 4(as Dimensional Maneuvers) - While using the Dimensional Movement 3, you gain a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks to bull rush, disarm, reposition, or trip an opponent.
At 16th level you replace slow fall 80ft with Dimensional Movement 5(as Dimensional Savant) - While using the Dimensional Movement 4, you provide flanking from all squares you attack from. Flanking starts from the moment you make an attack until the start of your next turn. You can effectively flank with yourself and with multiple allies when using this feat.
At 17th level you replace tongue of the sun and moon with Immunity to Paralysis
At 18th level remove Slow fall 90ft
At 20th level you replace Perfect self with Perpetual awareness - Because of your ability to move around the battle field you gain +2 dexterity, +2 wisdom, not able to be flanked except by a rogue of 4 levels higher and Total concealment, must move at least move 20ft the previous round to have the concealment, which can be any type of movement on ground, flying or teleporting.
At 20th level you replace Slow fall any distance with I'm not sure of the name yet, but you gain the ability to as an intimidate action when you start to fall you can send a 2 points from your Ki pool to teleport to the ground from any distance as long as you can see where you want to teleport.

sorry for that i made a mistake i meant to say the monk gets maneuver training at 7th level
There is a cool possibility from c.s. lewis' ransom series, what if the dimensional monk at a higher level had a different angle of gravity on any object she, he touched . The dimensional direction deciding which way was up could be useful for movement or releasing objects to fall diagonally up towards a castle wall, or release a bird to fly "up" in a strange direction, time would be the limiting factor, the level would effect the wearing off span, and would it be instant or would there be some nice confusion or shift?

you mean that he could chose what way gravity worked for him just by touching an object. Would the change in gravity only work for the monk or would it affect others as well.

Okay. I have to say that I like the idea, but what you exchange for what you gain is WAY off in this archetype. Look at the archetypes in Ultimate Combat that trade in Slow Fall and look at the options the Qinggong Monk in Ultimate Magic has to take in place of the ability. They trade the ENTIRE slow fall ability with about 1 feat equivalent. You have traded it for getting Abundant Step 6 levels earlier, the ability to use it a number of times per day outside of needing to spend ki, plus as you progress you also gain 5 feats and Uncanny Dodge! I'm not even sure if slow fall is worth the initial Abundant Step adjustment. Abundant Step usually costs 2 ki points. At level 6, you would have 3 + WIS ki. If your Wisdom is between 16 and 19, that would mean you would have 6 or 7 ki points and only be able to use Abundant Step 3 times, and that's blowing all or nearly all of your ki, not having much for other abilities. Your adjustment means that at level 6 you can use Abundant Step AT LEAST 3 times a day without factoring in your WIS. Although with the change of using WIS instead of STR for attack and combat maneuver, your Wisdom would likely be between 16 and 20, so you would likely be able to use the ability 3 to 5 more times. That's a very powerful ability. To tack on the 5 feats and Uncanny Dodge in addition to that from just one ability is just insane. To balance this archetype, I would probably move Abundant Step to level 4 and have it replace the entire ki pool and have the feats and Uncanny Dodge replace all of the abilities linked with the ki pool (meaning ones that you need to spend ki for or have ki in your pool to use). In addition to that, I would probably even have a feat or two replacing bonus feats you usually get.
Hope that didn't come off as too harsh. Like I said, I like the concept, but it is not a balanced archetype in any way whatsoever. If you're not that concerned about balance, then I guess it's fine as long as you are the GM or your GM is like-minded. If I think about it enough and get bored enough, I might try to write a balanced version of the archetype. Otherwise, good luck.
I think that's a good idea, ill do that, i do have a change to the archetype as well.
At 4th level the monks unarmed damage increases by +1 enhancement as if his fists were enchanted as a magic weapon, this damage increases by an additional +1 at 8, 12, 16 and 20 for a maximum for +5 at 20th level. This damage increases does not stack with magic weapon enhancements, unless they are not enhancement bonus's to damage. A Dimensional Monk can get monk wraps enchanted with non enhancement to damage with out the need of the wraps being at least +1. The monk can to achieve this can impart a +1 enhancement to the wraps to make this possible, but he loses this +1 for the length of time needed to enchant the wraps.

If he fails the save he take 1d4 con damage and can not regain this damage back in any way till he gains his enchantments back.(Eg a monk with +5 speed fists needs to make a dc 21 fort save or take 1d4 con damage)

@ 4, look at the shadow dancers shadow step and how that scales, then replace what you have with that.
Lvl 4,6, 14, seem unneccisary. Just use the ki weapon enhancements from the regular monk (magic/ lawful/ adamantine for overcoming DR).
@ 5, don't make it count against his uses/ day.
@ lvl 7 just give them a 20% miss chance for beneficial castings.
@ 8, demensional movement is a move action, leaving a standard action, @ 10, it's a swift action allowing for a full attack action, and @ 12 you can teleport around the battlefield and deliver as many attacks within range as you have attacks. I would nix dimension 4 and 5 and spread out the three you have to 5, 10, and 15th lvl.
These are just off the top of my head. Space out some of your other abilities so you don't have dead lvls.
ok if i don't have the high jump count towards uses per day then the +20 from the power will always be active, also i want to keep dimensional Movement 5 but i could nix 4 and make it every 4 levels starting at 4th level. Also the reason for their 3/4 healing received, is not because of their displacement but because of their body changing to be more alien in its nature becoming more in-tune with other dimensions, so healing someone who looks human but is not entirely human tricks the caster enough for the spell they cast to heal less, and their body is capable of storing health above and beyond that of their max.
I completely removed the Ki power pool and replaced with the uses per day of abundant step so having Ki power their attacks doesn't work any more.
yes they do, i have a more up to date version i just modified and moved around things i can send you a copy if you want want to your email, just private me with your email address.
also just to let you know i was trying to fill in some of the bonus feats with feats they get instead of giving them a list of feats to pick from, this is a more strict monastic order, they are more ridged and less flexible in what they can self teach them.
This is for part of this build i have changed a lot since chatting to Byrdology and my DM.
Long Limbs
At 3rd level, your reach increases by 5 feet whenever you are making a unarmed Strike Attack. This ability does not otherwise increase your threatened area. At 11th level, this bonus to your reach increases to 10 feet. At 17th level, this bonus to your reach increases to 15 feet.
I know normally long limbs under Aberrant blood line for sorcerer says touch attacks, but this is being added to a monk build so i changed it to unarmed attacks.
Anyway getting back to my question would he provoke attacks of oppertunity if attacking within 5ft of the target. If so there is a feat called Near and Far in the The Advanced Feats book, published by Open Design.
The feat states When using a reach weapon you may attack adjacent foes.
I would think so, without the extra feat that is. If you have a 15ft reach (which I think is a bit much btw), you could still knee someone with an UA strike.
Level 3: Fast movement, Maneuver training, Remover still mind
:Long Limbs (while maintaining psionic focus)

moved to this thread to stop derail. go to your google docs, right click your file and go to share, near the bottom it should say "anyone can view" click the tab next to view and select comment. if you are comfortable with it, you can also add me as a collaborator and allow me to make edits as well.
edit:oh looks like you already sent the email, thank you
I have a copy of the file on my computer so i could ass you as a collaborator. Sounds like it could work. Done your a collaborator so you can make changes to the file if you like.
I have a question about an ability I am putting into this class which is now call Unbound and its not a monk archetype anymore. The ability is so that it counter acts some of overpoweredness of the class with restrictions.
Dimensional Binding::
At 1st level you must choose a transitive plane(Astral, Ethereal, Shadow..). If he loses his psionic focus most of the Unbounds class abilities shutdown, and the Unbound can be affected by the spell dimensional anchor, dimensional lock., can be called like a outsider of his alignment and can be imprisoned by the spell Magic Circle of the alignment of the Unbound. For all purposes he is an outsider of the plane chosen and can be affected as 1.

** spoiler omitted **
Do you think this is to restrictive.
i had another thought regarding this, you should probably restrict it to your actual alignment, or within one step to prevent any confusing shenanigans, like the chaotic good character treated as an outsider from hell(lawful evil)
I have to put in the ability that banishment can't work on the Unbound unless the Unbound is not on his Home plane otherwise having him act as an Outside of his alignment would get him banished to a plane that might kill him, if he ends up being banished to a plane that's harmful.

I like it, looks real good.
I hope you don't mind I'm going to use Dimensional Enhancement in my own campaign as a reward for one of my players who is delusional and thinks he's the Herald of Irori.
