Martial artist monk archetype and slow fall


Advice


The martial artist archetype of the monk loses slow fall in favor of martial arts master at 4th level.

Is there any way for the martial artist to regain slow fall or a slow fall-like ability?

I can think of feather fall devices and like magic but I am looking for a non-magical solution.

Would taking a dip into quinggong monk do it?


No, you can't get it through qing-gong monk since the archetype traded out slow fall and there is a Paizo FAQ states that you cannot regain tradeouts through qinggong monk.

You need to look at racial abilities then, I am not aware of any nonmagical solution.

Scarab Sages

There are several races with a climb speed that is a good work-around, or the monkey moves feat in the monkey style chain will let you have a pseudo climb speed. Acrobatics checks will reduce fall damage, and a ring of feather falling is only 2200 gold.


Thank you Sangalor and Imbicatus for your input. It looks like a ring of feather falling will be the best for what I am thinking.

Liberty's Edge

Well if you don't want to waste a ring slot, you can always go with these.

Boots of the Cat:
Boots of the Cat

Aura faint transmutation; CL 1st
Slot feet; Price 1,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.
DESCRIPTION

These high-soled blue boots provide a great deal of comfort and arch support while also making the wearer appear a little bit taller than normal.

The boot’s wearer always takes the minimum possible damage from falls (as if the GM had rolled a 1 on each die of damage incurred by the fall) and at the end of a fall always lands on his feet.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

Craft Wondrous Item, feather fall; Cost 500 gp.

From the Ultimate Equipment book.


Thank you Fomsie. I like that item better than the ring of feather fall. It fits the concept better.

Until you can afford 'Boots of Speed'! Then pick up the ring...
