Nifty little monk trick

[gallagher]

I like where this is going...

are you thinking of slapping this on an incubus?

[Doughnut Master]

Also useful in brothels.

[The Glyphstone]

No, the incubus would be doing the slapping.

Though it is worth noting that any body part that this is done to would, again technically, only be enlarged until the attack hit or missed, at which point it would shrink back to normal size.

Which could lead for a very exciting "attack" but much less exciting "damage..."

Story of my life.

In less than two pages, a discussion of whether or not the trick could work has quickly degenerated to a (only slightly) veiled perverted thread filled with double entendres and euphemisms.

Oh this is why I love the playground

[Menteith]

If you're allowing the Monk to count as his own weapon, a single level of Shadow Sentinel allows the Monk to change himself into any appropriately sized slashing weapon, and if not, it allows the monk to change any part of his body capable of making an attack into any appropriately sized slashing weapon.

[Empedocles]

This is getting so confusing..................

No need to waste a level, just take Versatile Unarmed Strike so he can do bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage as he desires.

Yeah, I think at this point the thread has...





Grown out of control.

[Menteith]

Versatile Unarmed Strike would be required to enter SS. But there's a difference between changing the type of damage he deals vs. changing his body into physical weapons - that he arguably could change into whatever size he wanted.

[Ranting Fool]

Strictly by the wording of Unarmed Strike, the monk is not his own weapon, he can just use any part of his body to deliver an unarmed strike. So what this actually does under that interpretation is a perfectly normal, Medium/Small monk, who activates his Necklace and suddenly has a Colossal fist/elbow/knee/head without changing the rest of his body size at all.

Bah I was going to make that joke!

[DigoDragon]

Bah I was going to make that joke!

I was actually thinking of the episode of Phineas & Ferb with the shrinkinator where Dr. Doofenshmirtz was shrunk... except for his hand. Then Doof gets crushed under his now-giant hand when he waved it over his head.

[Gwendol]

And how exactly are unarmed strikes enchanted in the first place?

[The Glyphstone]

With a Necklace of Natural Attacks.

[VGLordR2]

Couldn't you also do it as a Kensai?

[The Glyphstone]

Couldn't you also do it as a Kensai?

That'd work too.

[Chained Birds]

Take That Bears!.

Just skip to the half-way point (If you want) and be amazed!

[nedz]

Oh wow, at last someone has found a use for the Monkey Grip feat.

Its still not spectacular: -2 to hit, for an extra size of damage.

Monkey Grip does nothing in this case, since an Unarmed Strike isn't a two-handed weapon, so you can wield one that's one size larger than yourself just fine.

[Occasional Sage]

Well, in the rightwrong sort of game, that can also be used to make a Monk's unarmed strikes...

I'm not sure I want to play in the game where you can literally give the BBEG the Mushroom Stamp of Disapproval.

[doko239]

Add Transformative as well, and turn your... whatever... into a Colossal Greatsword

[Ankhman]

somehow that reminded me on monkey d ruffy from one piece and his gear 3 ..

I'm thinking strongarm Bracers and the Stonefist spell.

Strongarm lets you wield a weapon one size up. Stonefist gives you damage based on your size and if you're a monk, you move up one size category on that list...so you would effectively raise your damage by two size levels on the stone fist damage chart, yes? No worries about being able to *cough* wield yourself?

Two things that say "equal to your size plus one" don't stack because neither changes your size.

Are you sure about this ?
IIRC Monkey Grip is about weilding a weapon one size larger than you can normally. The line about two-handed weapons is just an example.

Read the feat. All it does is reduce the effort for wielding a larger weapon - normally, you could not wield a Large two-handed weapon at all, a Large one-handed weapon would count as two-handed for you, etc.

[Namfuak]

2 things:

1. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the female monk aspect of this, like using her colossal [redacted]s to slap a kobold for 4d8 damage, or grappling a foe with her now colossal lady parts.

2. If we go with the interpretation that it increases the size of your whole body (I actually prefer this one, but I digress), would that mean that this monk would either have to go around naked all the time or buy very cheap, expendable clothing? I mean, unlike enlarge person this only increases her body's size, not her clothing's size. Also, would the strength check to burst an enclosure from enlarge person apply here?

This talk about disproportionally large body parts reminds me of something...

Ah' memories... how they frustrate me at times! Stupid Nintendo-Hard making me think games of today are too easy.
