Is there a psychic monk core class?

[korasukage]

Hey All, just wondering if any one knows of a psionic monk core class exists? Thanks

Psychic warrior. Ok, he doesn't get the increasing unarmed damage (unless you make it into a feat chain), but if you want that, you can multiclass him with monk. Other than that, a psychic warrior makes a great monk.

Yeah, with the Claw powers, you sort-of get increasing damage.

PsiWarrior is a great class.

If you're looking at a more-stealthy, less-combat variant, consider my Mind Thief class.

There's also a psychic monk PrC on the Wizards website called the Diamond Warrior that was specifically designed for the psychic warrior to take.

Great ideas and suggestions guys-thanks. BTW Nifft checked out your mind thief and I thought it was exceptionaly well done, its something I would allow my pcs to play. Oh yeah if you don't mind I was thinking of using your class as a base to work with in order to create a psi monk class

Thank you! Feel free.

IMHO, it might be better to use the basic PsiWar to build a monk, because part of what balances my Mind Thief is their non-combat Power list. (I don't know how combat-power-oriented you think Monks should be, vs. melee-combat-oriented).

Also note that the 3.5e Expanded Psionics HB is due out any week now, so you might want to wait for that to see how they've changed the official PsiWar. I'm waiting to see it before I update any of my psionic classes to 3.5e.

Forgot about that. I'll wait until that comes out before I attempt to do a psi monk class. Thanks for reminding me.
