The calm warrior that leashes his inner rage, pointing the inner beast to his target, controlling his bestial energy reserves with focus Ki for a combination of mental training and pockets of power to be utilized with flying fists and feet!
I talk of none other then the Monk/Barbarian, the greatest memory of 2ed D&D for me...
I was let down when I first found out some odd years ago that no more can I be thier awesome combination in 3.5, later PFRPG as well
This year, however, I am a DM
As I DM, much homebrewing of my continent and campaign occured, and I thought, 'Wait a sec, maybe I could house rule this awesome combination..."
Thus, my homebrew feat I wished to share with everyone!
Ascetic Barbarian
The life of a monk is one of control. You have taken this concept to the highest of strains, as you control the inner primal energies with your ascetic training
Prerequisites: 13 Wis, Improved Unarmed Strike, Rage ability
Benefits: Your monk and barbarian levels stack for the purpose of determining your unarmed strike damage and AC bonus when unarmored. For example, a half-orc 1st level Barbarian/4th-level monk would deal 1d8 points of damage with his unarmed strike and his bonus to AC while unarmored would be, in addition to his bonus to AC from Wis and Dex, (if any), +1
Your monk and barbarian levels also stack when determining how many times you may rage per day
In addition, you can freely multiclass between Monk and Barbarian as long as you retain your Lawful alignment, (this bypasses the barbarian need to remain or be chaotic in order to level in barbarian and utilize all barbarian class features, including rage)
This good? What are your guys/gals thoughts?
