Advice


The Game: Gladiator style fights for the entertainment of the crowd. No WBL, No Items (except Weapons/Armor).

The Rules: Starting Lvl 4. All character are gestalt Monk(archetype)/XXX. 20 point buy. Human Only.

My Soulknife: Monk(MoMS,Ki Mystic,Qiggong) / Soulknife (Deadly Fist,Gifted Blade)

Abilities:
7,16,14,10,20,7 (wisdom for human and lvl 4)(I Don't like negatives but this is a competition and there are no ways to increase abilities with items)

The Builds:
1)Dodge, Crane Style, (M)Snake Style
2)(M)Snake Fang, (BS)Focused Offense
3)Improved Initiative (P)Inertial Armor
4)(BS)Focused Defense
5)Combat Reflexes
6)(M)Mantis Style,(BS)Improved Flurry,(BS)Combat Slide
7)Ability Focus (Stunning Fist)
8)(BS)Mind Shield?
9)Elemental Fist
10)Efreeti Style

This build utilizes focused defense and crane style for amazing AC and then turns that back on the attacker. later we focus on Stunning fist and elemental damage while trying to keep AC relative.
(the only problem I see is too much focus on certain styles could i replace Combat Reflexes and Ability focus with something better)

1)Improved initiative, Weapon Focus (Unarmed)(M)Dragon Style
2)(M)Dragon Ferocity, (BS)Focused Offense
3)Elemental Fist(Fire) (P)Inertial Armor
4)(BS)Combat Slide
5)Dodge
6)(M)Efreeti Style,(BS)Improved Flurry,(BS)Mind Shield
7)Crane Style
8)(BS)Focused Defense
9)Punishing Kick
10)Efreeti Stance

This build focuses more on offense using more of my WIS to do damage while giving me other utility options. My AC is decent at early levels and reaches its highest potential later.

Please tell me what you think about these ideas Remember there are NO ITEMS so resistances are somewhat low and abilities raise VERY slowly. It's a competiton there will be PVP.

Questions:
Can Stunning Fist be used as an AoO
Psychokinetic Discharge (Deadly Fist) is a ranged Unarmed Attack can this be used with Stunning Fist / Snake Fang to hit archers?

Interest: thought you might like to know some of the other Player Choices
Monk(Zen Archer)/Marksman-this sounds dangerous
Monk(4Winds)/Psion(Nomad)-Raiden?
Monk/Fighter(Brawler)-ouch
Monk//Sorcadin-not sure, but better saves than anyone else and spells.


Take a hard look at feat prerequisites. I'm only halfway through the first build and you can't take most of them when you did.


Master of many styles allows you to skip prerequisites for styles with monk bonus feats
