So disappointed in Scaled Fist monk

[Seltin]

He’s my main character. Lvl 13 atm, but he hits like a wet noodle. Grey or, Wojit, Regill, even Ember, hit like trucks.

I feel like I am missing something with him. Perhaps the balance of the class supposedly comes with his utility, but even then, Woljit can cast spells and has equal levels of utility, but hits hard with sneak attacks

Is he Dex-based or STR? And are you using amulets of mighty fists (if unarmed), Styles, and ki abilities? He should be having tons of attacks per round with big damage dies

Gonna need more info. Monks typically have good AC and damage if you build them right.

First of all the popular way to lvl a monk is to stop at lvl 11 as you get your last extra attack on flurry of blow at that lvl and the extra 9 lvls would be spent better elsewhere.

I'd put 2 lvl of paladin for divine grace and get a use of that extra cha and then either go for some mutation warrior or slayer lvls.

Monk at lvl 11 give you 2 extra attacks per round (3 when you spend ki) than anyone else so its up to you to boost that dmg with either power attack, pirana strike or some sneak attack dmg.

Yeah, he's Cha and Dex for AC and Str foir damage. He does get like 5 hits at lvl 12/13 without haste, but each hit after damage reduction is typically in the 20s region. Using dragon style, and hammerblow is turned on. Using Amulet + 2, I have both, agile and mighty, but when equipping, because he uses 3 main stats, there was no change in terms of +hit or +dmg on his character sheet.

I typically use Ki Extra attack every time its his turn and the Ki Cold attack with it, its just compared to Lann, Woljit, Regill, Greybor, he hits a lot less harder.

EDIT: Pure unarmed
