3.5 monk question Ki strike (holy)

[lrellok]

one of the feats in Book of Exalted Deeds list as a requirement Ki strike (holy). I can find no mention of this ability in the rest of the book, and it does not appear that 3.5 or 3.0 edition monks have a Ki strike (holy) naturally. Where does this ability appear?

I assume the feat you are looking at is Holy Ki Strike, on page 44, which does have Ki Strike (holy) as a prereq...which is the benefit the feat is supposed to grant.

I'd say its a typo and replace the word "holy" for "lawful" in the prerequisite line. So new prereqs would be:

Cha 15, Improved Unarmed Strike, Ki strike (lawful), Sanctify Ki Strike

It fits with another of the prerequisite feats, Sanctify Ki Strike, which has Ki Strike (lawful) as a prerequisite.

[Curmudgeon]

It's probably an error. My guess is that if you satisfy the requirements for Sanctify Ki Strike you'll be set to qualify for Holy Ki Strike.

Complete Champion, IIRC, has an alt class feature that replaces your Ki Strike Magical with Ki Strike Holy, but that can't be what they were talking about in BoED, since BoED was printed right before 3.5 came out, and Complete Champion was almost the last 3.5 book ever printed.

Time travel! :smallbiggrin: I mean, surely some amount of coordination between the makers of the two books is possible?
