08-13-05, 04:53 PM I know this is a strange question to ask, but after looking through magic of faerun, complete divine, and the DMG, I've found that if you combine the gauntlet of the talon, the monks belt, and a monk's tattoo, you can get your unarmored AC bonus and unarmed damage 14 levels higher then normal, Your monk speed 4 levels higher then normal, and your ki strike as if 5 levels higher then normal, as well as slashing damage for your unarmed strikes and a few other goodies. So the question before me is this... what mix of classes would best reap the benefits of these three items? I've been at a loss, but I'm working on it as we speak. The only pre-reqs I can think of is at least ONE monk/CAdv Ninja level, the True Believer Feat, and at least 7 HD (not classes, HD), to reap all the goodies. And 113 k gp or thereabouts for the items.
