As a side note, is anyone else peeved that the monk gets Nalia's keep as a stronghold (same as a fighter)? They should get the cleric's stronghold. Who cares if it is a cleric or a monk that is giving advice to the flock! It just makes A LOT more sense than a castle (someone who is trying to live a non-materialistic lifestyle ruling as lord of a castle?). I guess they forgot to put a stronghold in for monks, so just gave them the fighter one as a spur of the moment idea. Oh well, just me venting...

I second the motion!

MONK! ...enlighten others...

You could always use shadowkeeper so they are more in keeping with the original ad&d rules.

i.e d4 hit points a level, limits on the number of magical items they can use,more limits on the weapons they are allowed (I think its just a staff, darts and a dagger but I may be wrong)

And a level limit of 13 I think.

That won't appeal to the power gamers. They are still very powerful at high levels but need as much tender loving care as mages to actually get them there.

Actually, another peeve that I have with the monk is the inability to use staves. How many martial arts movies have you seen where they use the staff? If you were following the movies, monks would have access to the following weapons: staff, longsword (to simulate the Chinese broadsword), dagger, dart, possible scimitar (have seen them in use by martial artists before). Any others that I missed?
