Talented Monk & Deadly Strikes with Weapons


Product Discussion


I recently purchased the SGG Talented Monk, and it is awesome. Best way to customize your own Archetype. Couple of questions.

When using a monk weapon, the character can strike with a weapon using a flurry. However, they will use a damage table that progress with their level. So a 12th level monk, can throw Shurikens and deal 2d6 points of damage instead of 1d2. This is a huge difference.

This seems a bit over powered as compared to the Core rules. I would like to get your take on this.


Bumping post, looking for thoughts on this?


Have you tried posting in the Homebrew section? If this is a 3rd Party book you got, it is more likely that someone there will reply to something like this.


The Far Strike Monk is an official archetype that can do exactly that.

which is this although that monk has to spend a ki on it. honestly it isnt at all overpowered though as throwing weapons come with their own issues, this just makes the choice in using them more palatable.


It's not Overpowered. It's POWERFUL, but not overpowered.

Damage dice are the least important part of damage dealing. 1d2 ---> 2d6 is a huge increase, but not overpowering.
