Ummm.... why take feats to improve kama and unarmed?? Most builds work best if you focus in one area. Use the feat to improve something else.

its because to take cot lvls you need a weapon focus in melee weapon and unfortunately weapon focus in fists is not enough

Wow thanks, good call on the 16 WIS 16 DEX and adding the two extra to another stat. I ended up with all the same stats but 2 extra int when I did that. Just changed to Listen... put in Expertise, Imp Expertise, all the Imp Stuns, and I ended my monk levels on a multiple of 3 so I get the bonus speed

. Thanks for all the tips so far people.

For the sake of keeping my build to myself, I'm not going to post it, but if one of you monk experts wants to see how it looks now and maybe even give a few more pointers just message me. I'd be more than happy to show ya.

Have you tested it in game? If you don't have a tester, go get PGC3 and test out on that

Just note that it hasn't been updated to 1.69 or cep 2.1, so you won't get the extra pretty appearances from those when you try to customise your appearance. It's good to test your characters though, as you can make basic equipment to find out your standard stats (+5 ab and +4 ac gear)

You can send it to me if you like, my knowledge of nwn is reapproaching its old level... just keep the magics away

Wow... I just have to say thanks so much again. This time for showing me this Character Making Module... the custom-making items IG is amazing!

Weapon Specialisation is a give or take kinda thing. It gives you +2 damage, and then +4 in epic (which is +6 to those of us who aren't too great at adding up). +6 damage is good, and it's solid, but consider the immunities on the server. Most people have at least 25% physical immune right? So that's now two feats for 4 and a half damage (I included the half because it will add on to other fractions when you're doing more damage). I believe you can get up to... 50%? So that's down to three damage. It doesn't really seem worth it...

This was my first thought too.
But on second thought: These 2 feats have the equivalent damage value of +12 strength. It' s constant damage (no dice rolls) and it will be added up and multiplied on critical hits. That is not that bad, is it?

depending on your build it may or may not be worth it however still, seeing as you can gain weapon specialization from another source.
