Thanks!

Lawful Good Goliath Monk
Str 27, Dex 20, Con 20, Int 10, Wis 20, Cha 10.
AC 35, touch 26, flatfooted 30

Feats:
1. Improved Unarmed Strike
1. Stunning Fist
1. Power Attack
2. Combat Reflexes
3. Improved Bull Rush
6. Improved Trip
6. Knockback
9. Flying Kick
12. Improved Grapple
15. ?

Max ranks in Jump and Tumble, half-max in Balance, Escape Artist, Swim, and Climb.

BAB +11, melee +18, ranged +16, grapple +25

Has mostly stat boosting items, AC boosting items, a Bag of Boulders, an elixir of flaming fists, rhino's elixir, monk's belt. Also has a homebrew quasi-legacy item that is an alchemical-steampunk pair of boots that increase speed, jumping (a lot!), and Str checks for feet and legs, as well as kicking damage.

It's for a swashbuckling campaign.

May 21, 2008 23:38:08 Sun School? Its a tactical feat from Complete Warrior. Gives a couple of cool tricks, including Blink-Striking on your Abundant Step feature and a progressive knockback effect when you flurry. If you are gonna take that many levels in monk, might as well break out this fun tool.

May 22, 2008 2:23:06 What about Improved Natural Attack from the SRD http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsterFeats.htm it originally appeared in the MM but ,I believe, has been ruled as usable by monks.

May 22, 2008 10:48:59 Well, with his powerful build, monk's belt, and Spring Heeled Boots, he's doing about 4d8+7 or 4d10+7 points of damage per hit, plus 1d12 if he charges. More if the druid Greater Magic Fangs him.

May 22, 2008 11:13:42 I played a Goliath Monk, Reaping Mauler that used this concept as his main tactic. The reaping mauler has that choke/death ability (that is if the damage doesn't kill you first). Corpses are considered objects in D&D. Rock hurling lets you throw objects. My DM almost shifted my alignment to evil when I asked how much damage an orc corpse does...

This also reminds me of a Marvel Super Heroes char. I played once. His name was Captain Cadaver. He was just a dead guy in a really heavy suit of armor. He had a sidekick named Little Bob (800 lbs and nine feet of rock solid muscle). Little Bob would pick up the Cap'n and throw him, shouting his battle cry... "Death From Above"!!!
