| Post subject: | Unarmed Characters need mythal love? |
Unarmed monks get shafted when it comes to mythal crafting, because they don't use a weapon or shield on which to add up to 8 mythal powers. That's a huge handicap, when it's often said that equipment is what really makes a char truly viable in epic levels. Does anyone else see this as 'unfair'? Is there something that can/should be done to even this out? Just curious. It's stopped me from considering an unarmed monk, even tho it's the most fundamental of monk builds out there. edit: changed title to reflect that this applies to all unarmed builds, not just monks. |

An advice totally unrelated to your question. If the character you have in your mind is supposed to be unarmed, then worry not about the lack of weapon/shield and their bonuses. I know epic monk gloves are +6, but if two-handed weapons got extra mythal slots, maybe then the gloves should as well. I am not sure if it is doable though. I doubt that you can give monk gloves more crafting slots, without giving it to all the gloves in the module. |

I'm not worried about lack of weapon/shield, it's lack of mythal slots that go on those items. If extra mythal slots could be added to monk gloves that then only work on a monk build, that'd fix the issue in a jiffy. I'm open to any options that can even this out for unarmed builds. And this is really not just for monks, it's for any unarmed build really. I should change the title to reflect that. |

Possible, but not clean code. |

1d20 base unarmed damage + 2d6 elemental and +5 (GMW actually adds damage to them..) + STRmod and Weapon spec is plenty enough on it's own.. My monk actually doesn't use kamas or any other monk weapons because unarmed damage is higher. |

Hey folks, Just a short reminder but I thought it warranted saying that this is not the improving amia forum, and that forum was purposefully closed for a few months (until may 13) in order to evaluate how we things go without it, as well as consider all the changes recommend thus far. I don't have an opinion one way or the other about your recommendation (I would have to build and play more monks first) and while I see it's merit this isn't really the forum for it. Please don't fill the GD forum with these. Here's Glim's post for reference: Clickedy |
