hallo everyone, I have one question with the arquetype Martial artist for monk, at lvl 12 he gain abundant step... but... it says that he need to expend 2 ki points of his ki pool... but he doesn't have ki pool cause is replaces for exploit weakness... so he can't use abundant step? and in that case... why he have that ability?.
and the second question... what feats you think that is better for a Martial artist for lvl 15?, that's my list of feats.
weapon focus (lvl 1)
Improved Grapple (monk lvl 1)
weapon Finesse (human)
dodge (monk lvl 2)
power attack (lvl 3)
Disorienting maneover (lvl 5)
improved trip (monje lvl 6)
presice strike (lvl 7)
felling smash (lvl 9)
improved critical (monk 10)(unarmed)
hammer the gap (lvl 11)
weapon specialization (lvl 13)
medusah's wrath (monk lvl 14)
greater weapon specialixation (lvl 15)
in that monk I have a codition... nothing that need magic or something like that, like elemental fist, cause the GM said that she will give us the magic in game. I was searching something to give more attack bonus, what do you think?
someone can answer me? please >_<
As written, there's nothing that's traded in for Abundant Step. Talk to your GM, maybe he'll simply allow you to get another bonus feat in place of that, or an extra use of Defensive Roll.
Your feat selection is pretty good, will get you some nice extra damage. If you want to focus on combat maneuvers, though, you could swap out the Weapon Specialization and Improved Critical feats for Greater Grapple, Rapid Grappler, and Lunge. That way, if you end up within 15 feet of an enemy caster, you can 5 foot step and potentially have them grappled, pinned, and restrained all in one round.
at the moment I prefer to use the damage, cause the creature that the GM use are from her mind, so, they have a great CMD, so, I prefer to use the damage, and I changed the felling smash feat for Outflank, cause we always flank the targets.
