There has to be a better way than being level 8?
Thanks!

Special: [u]A monk of the four winds receives Elemental Fist as a bonus feat at 1st level, even if he does not meet the prerequisites.[/u] A monk may attempt an Elemental Fist attack a number of times per day equal to his monk level, plus one more time per day for every four levels he has in classes other than monk.
Take one level of Monk, Master of Many Styles or Monk of 4 Winds.
But only for one damage type until you meet the prereqs normally. =)
But still, yes.
Wow, that's great, thanks guys. :) I had no idea that you could get it at level one. I'm contemplating a half orc monk with elemental fist (fire) and the Fire God's Blessing Feat. Possibly monk / sorcerer though the stats for that would suck.
Possibly monk / sorcerer though the stats for that would suck.You could choose the Empyreal sorcerer blood line which uses Wisdom in Place of Charisma. Why not go with crossblooded Orc/Empyreal?
You, my good sir, are a genius!
Eh, that's not necessarily needed since elemental fist works just as well, and other fire based spells can work. First draft!

I just don't know. regaining 1hp 2/day just doesn't seem worth a feat slot for Fire God's Blessing IMO. Granted you'll be able to use it on any fire spells you cast but still... the more you level up the worse this feat is going to become. Toughness would serve you far better, I think.

I'm not going to argue that. You are probably correct. However, I'm not going for an optimized build here. I'm going for a theme I have in my head of something that would be really fun to play and that really works with the theme.
Eventually it would probably look something like this:

At this point I would probably stop the progression of the Sorcerer since he has his Efreeti form and continue on as a monk. Get the entire Efreeti line of combat style feats and probably Dragon as well.
While he's not super powerful or even incredibly optimized, he would be a TON of fun to role play.
Robe of Arcane Heritage.
Wow, had not seen those. How do they interact with a crossblooded sorcerer?
[edit] I ask because I think crossblooded with Orc bloodline could add some major benefits to that build...
Unfortunately I'm already using the crossblooded for Empyreum and Efreeti.
