Drunken Master?
Ok, so everyone loves the Jackie Chan movie. Everyone loves the idea of a drunken master...
Is the class fun to play? Both Mechanically and RP-wise.
If so... what kind of builds can we come up with for such a build. I was thinking of Simple Monk 6/Drunken Master 5 (I build ECL 11 since that's where my home game is right now )...Last edited by SamTheCleric; 2008-03-13 at 07:53 PM.

Re: Drunken Master?
From what I can tell. A drunken master would be Great. although you have to take levels in monk. Which I will admit is a "Weaker" class. But Drunken master is A "Joke" class. SO therefore, it'll be fun to play! Think about it. runnin' around Ludicrously Drunk, just barely avoid fatal attacks.

Re: Drunken Master?
Yeah, I'm willing to sacrifice a little power for the ability to stagger around the battlefield and yell vaguely racist things at the enemy while drinking down some good dwarven spirits.

Re: Drunken Master?
If you look in the "Why the Bastard Sword is the best weapon of all time" thread, there is one build that uses this class. Really funny one, at that. Kill people with paper clips .

Re: Drunken Master?
Don't forget that the drunken master can eventually convert alcohol into healing potions, as well as potions of dragonsbreath :P

Re: Drunken Master?
There's also the Rayman build which is with throwing returning fists.
Anyone else think it would be amusing to take levels in Barbarian? Angry drunk with a massive strength score. You have issues with not having enough actions to get drunk fast enough(Never thought I'd say that). Maybe a belt of battle would help. Drunken master is always funny, but I don't know if they're effective.Last edited by UglyPanda; 2008-03-13 at 10:16 PM.

Re: Drunken Master?
Hmm, I forgot about the whole alignment restriction thing.
Barbarian and Monk don't really mesh well... but the massive strength does appeal to me.
Unarmed Swordsage is a possibility... but I kinda wanna stick with monk as a base... I don't know why, considering it's a pretty weak class. I'm dumb that way.

Re: Drunken Master?
Swordsages don't get flurry of blows, right? You have to take at least monk 2 for evasion and flurry of blows, or monk 1/rogue 2. You also need 8 ranks in tumble, which is cross-class for most of the good melee classes. BAB is a problem since Drunken master only has 3/4. If you need an RP justification for taking Barbarian, you could claim to have gotten so drunk one night that the monastery bans you from their order and you become an angry vagrant.
Bear warrior is also a funny prestige class to add to it. Lion Totem might make the build very powerful, possibly too cheesy.Last edited by UglyPanda; 2008-03-13 at 10:38 PM.
