Talk:Gestalt Fist of the Forest (3.5e Class)

Fists of the Forest are never lawful. They may be honorable, but at heart they are wild. This wildness is their strength, and it could not live in a lawful soul.

That makes no sense. In the natural world its laws. Plants grow in different seasons and may only grow in a certain direction on a tree. Animals may act different in all for seasons and even move or mate according to the Laws of nature. Animals have boundaries and mark there homes and protect it. They have structure in packs of wolves and lions to name a few lawful groups. Its not smart to look at nature as not to have order or laws. Patterns in crystals are not random you can use math to find a pattern. Some animals only hunt at night and others in day. Its Law in nature

You made a your damage go from 2d10 to 3d6. The max is 20 with 2d10, and the Max is 18 with 3d6. Why would you damage less at higher levels in a class?

Increasing and Decreasing  Damage 
 2d10  4d8   6d8   8d8  12d8

Saves are to high[edit]

This class would not have a high save for will power. You straighten your body more than your mind. The will save should be poor. this class is built on rage and feral instinct. The only thing I would make it so it could have saves that high in will is if you eventually had the full mental powers during a rage as a class ability. If not why would you have a strong mind?

AC bonus[edit]

AC Bonus (Ex): A Fist of the Forest is highly trained at dodging blows, and she has a sixth sense that lets her avoid even unanticipated attacks. When unarmored and unencumbered, the Fist of the Forest adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. At 7th level, a Fist of the Forest also adds her Constitution bonus (if any) to her AC. In addition, a Fist of the Forest gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five Fist of the Forest levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, +3 at 15th, and +4 at 20th level).

That is not right. You are not a monk so you do not add Wis to your AC its only Con. If you want Wis you need to take a class in Monk. This is to OP class feature. Use Con only

Flurry of Blows[edit]

Flurry of Blows (Ex): When unarmored, a Fist of the Forest may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack bonuses are shown in the Flurry of Blows Attack Bonus column on Table 1-1: The Fist of the Forest. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of opportunity the Fist of the Forest might make before her next action. When a Fist of the Forest reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to –1, and at 9th level it disappears. A Fist of the Forest must use a full attack action (see page 143) to strike with a flurry of blows. When using flurry of blows, a Fist of the Forest may attack only with unarmed strikes. When a Fist of the Forest reaches 11th level, her flurry of blows ability improves. In addition to the standard single extra attack she gets from flurry of blows, she gets a second extra attack at her full base attack bonus.

Flurry of Blows is a monk class feature. Take levels in monk if you wanna flurry. You gain the ability to flurry by constant training using technique. Over and over before you develop speed and accuracy as well as power. A A hybrid would not do this because your focus on merging rage with high damage in a punch. Increase base attack like a barbarian and drop the flurry, your not in a monetary hitting the body bag all day.

Fighting Style (Ex)[edit]

Your not a monk, its a combine class. Give the class bonus combat feats. You rage you have no stance your a beast. AKA what style you in your half crazy
