	This lets monks fight effectively from long range (well, effectively by monk standards, anyways). Nice.

	A solid investment for Zen Archers out there, giving them the ability to use their Stunning Fists in the niche they're actually good at.

Low

Typically monk bonus feats give you the benefit of ignoring pre-reqs, but it's kind of pointless here. By the time you can pick it up via class bonus feats you already qualify, and you actually still need Weapon Focus for the feat to work.

I was gonna say that's fine, they don't all need to be steals, but then I realized it isn't giving you Ki Focus on ranged weapons, just allowing you to buy ki focus on a ranged weapon. That's solidly Low. And not a very good deal I might add. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 11:10, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the fast feedback Eiji, this is my first attempt at this kind of feat so I was glad to be informed how far off the mark I was. I would really like to get it up to moderate, would removing the weapon focus get it in that realm? All of my rescent builds have used martial adept monk so I now realise I was seeing more power than was really there from the ability. Originally I was planing on the feat just giving you Ki Focus on the ranged weapon but thought that might be too overpowered for a moderate feat. Amdillae(talk) 12:12 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Ok decision made after sleeping on it to just give the ranged weapon Ki focus, maybe it can be abused a bit with aptitude weapons but it's not a massive boost. Also reducing the monk level to first so it can be gotten early, that was the original plan so I am going to go with it.Amdillae(talk) 23:10 14 March 2015 (UTC)
