The original AD&D rules (published back in the early 1980s) limited monks to a maximum level of 17. As if that weren't bad enough, once you reached level 10 there were only so many monks of the next level and you had to find one and defeat that monk in personal combat in order to gain a level. The same held true for assassins--a level limit of 15 (Grandfather/mother of Assassins) and in order to gain levels above 11th you had to assassinate a higher-ranked assassin.
