02-04-07, 10:31 AM Hey guys, I was thinking of playing various Sacred Fist builds... using the Ascetic Hunter/Knight feats... (Tome of Battle isnt allowed so no Snap Kick or Superior Unarmed)

Monk 2/Ranger 6/Sacred Fist 10/Tattooed Monk 2

18 BAB
14th Level Casting as a Ranger
20th Level Monk Unarmed Damage (2d10... what is that with Improved Natural?)
1 Tattoo
TWF and ITWF for a total of 8 attacks when Flurrying.

Monk 2/Paladin 4/Sacred Fist 10/Tattooed Monk 4

18 BAB
12th Level casting as a Paladin
20th Level Monk Unarmed Damage
2 Tattoos

Monk 2/Cleric 4/Sacred Fist 10/<casting class> 4

Only 12th level monk damage but would end up 16th level casting for cleric spells.

...

Any thoughts?

02-04-07, 02:48 PM My idea for a build goes something like this:

Monk 2/ Paladin 2/ Cleric 1/Sacred Fist 10/ x 5

or

Monk 2/ Paladin 4/ Sacred Fist 10/ x 4

By taking the feats Ascetic Knight (Complete Adventurer), Serenity (Dragon Compendium), and possibly Intuitive Strike (Book of Exalted Deads) a Monk can become very effective as a Monk/Paladin mix. By taking levels of Sacred Fist (Complete Divine) the Monk/Paladin can abuse Wisdom to no end.

Serenity - (paraphrased) for all the following paladin abilities: (Divine grace, lay on hands, smite evil and turn undead), replace charisma with wisdom.

If you go halfling (strongheart is best), you should take yondalla's sense for wis to initiative.

Also see for more ways to abuse wisdom: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=320889

02-04-07, 03:18 PM Use the Decisive Strike variant (PHBII) and a dip into Argent Fist (Faiths of Eberron) - you can use Decisive Strike in armor ,while you can't Flurry in armor. Argent Fist lets you wear armor and retain your monk abilities, although Sacred Fist limits you to light armor.
