I still think they should "buy in" to the monk class at level one by starting at +0 to BAB. But thereafter full progression.Secondly I say drop all monk weapons. There is no such thing. They get instead simple weapon proficiency, and their flurry of blows works with any weapon they're proficient in. This removes some people's objections of the odd semi-oriental flavor. No special 'oriental' weapons, no special oriental flavor!I found some of the things Cyberzombie said to be particularly interesting. Notably:I like the idea of starting out their unarmed damage at d4. Then I was thinking of having the increased damage happen a little more slowly but apply to all weapons the monk is proficient with. That's right, work out something so that when the d4 from the fists goes up to d6, ALL weapons the monk can use go up as if the monk went up a size catagory. You'll have to slow down the (unarmed) damage progression, certainly (and it'll no longer be just unarmed), but it's such a simple and elegant solution to the issue Korimyr the Rat is asking about. Suddenly the monk IS better with weapons. But still does a great job barehanded (if not AS good as the 'traditional' monk). Hrmm... I'll have to look at that and see if I can come up with a progression that is balanced with the addition of weapons.</blockquote>
