Poll: What Feature Do You Want?

If you've been following the comments on the Skyrim Nexus page for Way of the Monk, then you probably read me talking about a poll for new features. The gist of that discussion is this: Because I only have a limited amount of time to focus on modding, and because I want to please as many of my players as possible, I have been gathering a list of requested features to be added to the next version. Feel free to continue suggesting additions. Each of you get 3 votes for what you want to see in the next version. You can spend all of those votes on one feature, or spread them out. Post below in the comments with your 3 votes, along with any areas that you want me to work on (they will be added to the list).

• Chi system (needs a minimum of 20 votes) [4 votes]
• Improved aesthetics
• More perks [3 votes]
• More enchantments
• Perk transparency/improvement (making it easier for you to know the requirements) [2 votes]
• Improve unarmed stealth combat [3 votes]
• Food/alchemicy buffs for unarmed combat
• More armor (only I only have spellweaver armor approved so far)

The five features with the most votes will be added to the next version of the mod, as long a they have a minimum of 2 votes each. Feel free to suggest more!

Suggestions can include having specific mods incorporated into this one, but you MUST have gained permission from the mod author beforehand. I won't add a mod unless I have permission from the author.
