The best body enhancements for a monk/CW kensai?
« on: April 25, 2011, 03:31:42 PM »
Let's say we have a monk/kensai (with some legacy champion to extend kensai a bit), and we want weapon enhancements for his unarmed strikes. What would be the best ones to add for utility and awesomeness?

There's Skillful, for one, so the monk is actually proficient with his own body.

There's Throwing, Distance, and Returning, so he can throw himself up to 100' away as an attack action, and can return to his original position (or any position he made a throwing-attack from) if he wants.

There's sizing, so he can grow to ludicrous sizes.

What would you suggest?

I mean to reattach two limbs when you threw one.

Give a whole new meaning to unarmed strike  :drums

+1 to transmuting

This might be moot with morphic, but isn't there an enhancement that changes the type of damage a weapon does (i.e. bludgeoning to piercing)?
There's always impact, and I like dislocator (greater) for the kiting option, but if nothing else you can always teleport them 30' in the air for a free 3d6.

Not sure sizing works anymore since it is no longer a +1 but is a straight 5,000k value.  If you can do +gp effects or named items, the luck dagger added to all you natural attacks would be funny.

Defending is funny if you are in the "it stacks" camp.

Since you are over leveling with legacy champion, distant shot from the epic book would be nice with throw.  You can attack anything you can see.  Maybe you can use your leadership to pick up a fiend of possession to also add in triple-throw.

IIRC Kensais get simple weapon proficiency, so this isn't needed.

I like Shadow Striking so he can actually hurt enemies, and possibly Aptitude.
