Which would make a better reaping Mauler, a Monk or a Fighter? My gut says Monk...but fighter would probably connect with grapples more.

I perfer fighter, because you can gain a bunch more of the cool grappleing feats.


As for better, im sure someone has a long elaborite proof that monk is better.

However, since Monk Damage translates to grapple damage, a Monk will do a lot more damage inside the grapple when he does hit.

I think a case could be made for either... it's entirly up to you.

Then consider both. A level or two for the monk feats and skills and and save bumps and fighter for the rest of the feats and a good base attack. If there is one of the ascetic feats that stacks fighter and monk, grab that... I'm not sure there is though...

Yeh... I saw feats for Ranger, rouge, Spellcasters... didn't see one for a fighter or Barbarian. Hm.

The answer to your question is clearly cleric. A good cleric of Kord would love this PrC. And who doesn't like Righteous Mighted Grapples?:D

I'd go rouge/monk. Sneak attack in a grapple with deadly precision spiked gauntlets!

Yeah me too, and I think you get your sneak attack damage during a grapple if your opponent is pinning irrc. Maybe even fighter/monk/rogue pry mostly fighter like monk 4 and rogue 3.
