I didn't necessarily mean the previous post as a negative comment, just mentioning ideas. It seems like with the Unarmed Combat requirements, a wizard could learn this tier, but would have to be dedicated to getting those abilities, but that seems interesting and not out of whack at first glance. Unique synergistic abilities like this should probably be harder to get than conventional things. |

Re: TFT Powers - Mystic Monk portfolio
Most are unarmored to avoid casting penalties. And some are unarmed either because they're old-school style, don't have a weapon-shaped "staff", and/or are a wizard version of this new type of "mystic monk", who would have Unarmed Combat talent and these abilities, and if they have a staff it might be a stylish wand or something. And/or they either don't want to show it, don't have it, don't have it ready, etc.
Not if "weapon mastery stick" doesn't exist. Not to mention all the requirements of learning "weapon mastery quarterstaff", and that it doesn't satisfy the prereqs for this portfolio. Of course, there could be another portfolio that does require quarterstaff and/or expert/master quarterstaff, with other powers... |

Re: TFT Powers - Mystic Monk portfolio
Now you're thinking... 'Staff of the Monkey King' portfolio!

And reducing the Powers to 3 tiers instead of 5, in addition to granting some flexibility in the order of selection, will make the scaling benefits more reasonable I think.

Maybe allow them to take the stance once per day, plus one per total levels? I think for non-combat use you should have a real world time duration...actually probably for combat use...what constitutes a combat exactly? If you are fighting one group, finish them, and then 2-3 rounds later a second group arrives is that one or two combats? |

I also prefer the dependence on ST to reflect that adopting one of these stances requires focus and effort... an extension of one's chi as it were, but without the draining effect of fatigue. And to that point, while it may be valid to use a stance outside of combat, I would not allow the character to maintain the active or passive effects of the Power indefinitely.
