05-22-07, 09:38 PM If I have a monk with less than 13 Int and I take Improved Trip at level 6, can I then take Improved Disarm later, such as at level 8, even if my Int is still too low?

05-22-07, 09:45 PM You would get a feat at level 9 not 8, but in either case, since it is not a bonus feat for the monk you would need to meet all of the prerequisites, including the Int 13. You would only be able to take it without meeting the requirements if you were taking it as a Monk bonus feat at 6th level.

9 not 8. :D

Been about 3 years since I opened any of my DnD books, and I just couldn't find this one on reading.

Making a level 9 half orc monk to join a 'game in progress.'

05-23-07, 05:04 PM I've said it before and I say it again: I HAVE to learn to double check my books before posting... :P In my defense, on the feat table int 13 isn't mentioned on disarm and trip, just on comb. exp.

05-23-07, 05:18 PM Guys, take a look in the SRD. Bonus Feat: A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for these feats to select them.

Yes, but the OP is asking if a feat that's offered as a bonus feat can be taken at a later level (as a standard feat) and still ignore the prereqs, the answer is no.
