A gestalt Enlightened Fist build
« on: February 06, 2011, 11:49:14 AM »
Monk 2/Unarmed swordsage 1/Enlightened Fist 7/Swiftblade 10//Sorcerer 4/Unarmed swordsage +4/Sorcerer +1/Unarmed swordsage +1/Sorcerer +1/Unarmed swordsage +2/Sorcerer +1/Unarmed swordsage +2/Sorcerer +1/Unarmed swordsage +2/Sorcerer +1/Unarmed swordsage +2
Feats: Adaptive Style, Ascetic Mage, Dodge, Mobility, Sun School

BAB +17. Casts as a 20th-level sorcerer. Initiates maneuvers as a 12th-level swordsage (meaning 8th-level maneuvers). Has the speed and Stunning Fist uses of a 12th-level monk (+40ft, 16/day), the unarmed damage of a 16th-level monk (2d8), and the AC bonus of a 17th-level monk (Cha+3). Plus you have all the goodies of Enlightened Fist and Swiftblade, letting you run around at superspeed and punch people with scorching rays in ways that make their organs shut down. Arguably, stopping time with the swiftblade's capstone lets you trigger Sun School, but even if it doesn't you have multiple ways to teleport and gain skirmish damage too.

Alternatively you can swap out sorcerer + Ascetic Mage for wizard + Carmendine Monk. Or pick up Practiced Spellcaster and trade 2 levels of sorcerer for swordsage so you can use 9th-level maneuvers.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

If you're planning to use this in a game, you should check with the DM to see if he'll allow enlightened fist and swiftblade in gestalt. 

The gestalt rules say:
