Ascetic Savage (Barbarian/Monk)

(Original Concept by Desidero)

Primary: Barbarian.

Secondary: Monk.

Alignment: An ascetic savage’s alignment must be neutral along either the law/chaos or good/evil axis, or both.

Hit Dice: d10.

Bonus Skills and Ranks: The ascetic savage selects three monk skills to add to her class skills in addition to the normal barbarian class skills. The ascetic savage gains a number of ranks at each level equal to 4 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The ascetic savage is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, plus the kama, nunchaku, sai, shuriken, siangham, and temple sword*. The ascetic savage is not proficient with any type of armor or shields.

AC Bonus (Su): At 1st level, when an ascetic savage is unarmored and unencumbered, she adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC and her CMD. In addition, she gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four an ascetic savage levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the ascetic savage is flat-footed. An ascetic savage loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, is wearing any armor, is carrying a shield, or is carrying a medium or heavy load. This ability replaces light armor and medium armor proficiency.

Unarmed Strike (Ex): At 2nd level, an ascetic savage gains the monk’s unarmed strike ability and deals 1d6 points of damage with each unarmed attack. At 6th level and every four levels thereafter, this damage increases by 1 dam
