monk ninja combo


Advice

Liberty's Edge

Ok so I was thinking about a lvl 7 character and I was going to make a monk with just enough lvls of ninja to get vanish. The tactic he would use is run up smack someone then vanish then next round flurry and vanish again but he would only be using his hands. So I would like to know what advice you have to make this work.

You'd probably be better off doing a brawler/ninja combo since it wouldn't be as MAD since brawler doesn't require wisdom for decent AC, wearing armor instead. In addition - snakebite striker would work well as the sneak attack would stack.


Drunken Master is great fun for a ninja multiclass. Invisibility that's practically infinite.

Drunken Quinggong Master of Many Styles. Vanish will activate your Sneak Attack, but that will only work for 1 attack. Get one of those Styles that focus on 1 big attack like Tiger Style and Tiger Claw. Maybe get Dragon Ferocity. This would be a good candidate for Scorpion Strike, Gorgon's Fist, and Medusa's Wrath. If you get Shatter Defenses and Cornugeon Smash, you can keep them Flatfooted while you keep beating on them. Maybe that feat that lets you add your Strength mod to your Intimidate roll.

Maybe take a level in Gunslinger and/or get a Robe of Needles, Ranged, Touch Sneak Attacks against their flatfooted ACs!


With Pummeling charge and the Scout archetype, you don't even need vanish to always get a sneak attack on all your attacks.


Yeah, the appeal of Vanishing Trick for me was more the out of combat uses, although it isn't a bad use of a ki point at the end of your turn.

But just think...when you want to sneak past the guards, instead of drinking a potion, you just need to drink alcohol.
