Can you use Necklace of Natural Attacks to make the monk even better?

Why not?
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

My final project for my film independent study course. It could do with a watching and critiquing

Splitting might work if the monk's name is "Arrow"  :P

The problem with that is that a missed attack has a 50% chance of destroying said Monk, while a successful hit automatically destroys him.

Duh, Soulbound Weapon. Remake your monk by manifesting a power.

Snatch Arrows against him would double the monks each round :P

So, three Monks in a room, two with Snatch Arrows and one with Splitting. We now have a solution to world hunger: Cannibalism.


Edit: I can't call it cannibalism if the Splitting Monk somehow obtains Outsider status, seeing as he's no longer human.

Like obtaining Outsider status with, oh, the Monk capstone. :D

Actually, monks don't become outsiders.  Common misconception.  Magical effects and spells treat them as outsiders, but it's more like the planetouched subtype - they never actually change type.

Not to ruin anyone's fun, but remind me again why this trick effects the monk's whole body? Unless you are looking at a magic item I've not heard of, the Necklace of Natural Weapons does not seem to imply that the enchantment bonuses effect the creature's entire body, and rather just whatever natural weapons it happens to be employing at the time. And yes, I understand one might make the argument that the monk's whole body is a weapon, but unfortunately this is realistically untrue (physiologically, if nothing else). So given this, can someone clarify exactly how this effect takes place?

We just state that the Monk's entire body is his unarmed strike, not just one punch. Instead of kicking or slapping you, this Monk slams you with everything at once. Mechanically, it works and allows us to enhance the whole package, not just one arm.


I'm aware that it doesn't work from a scientific standpoint, but when has that ever been a concern of this section outside of the Commoner Railgun?
