Monk/Psionic PrC?

[Kryndal Levik]

Does anyone know of a good PrC (or two) with a combination (and prerequisite of) monk and psionic abilities? The Mindknight PrC on WotC's site left me cold, but it's just about the only thing I've found so far.

In my mind, a psionic monk (either psychic warrior or psion) seems rather realistic, considering the nature of each class. Any suggestions?

In a new campaign my friend is starting this weekend I am playing a multi-classed psion/monk and plan to take the Shintao Monk prestige class form OA. I am starting at lv 1 but plan to take 4 lv monk and 2 lv psion before the Shintao Monk. Which is non-psionic but is a good prestige class. The two lvs of psion will give me access to psionic feats and Lesser Body Adjustment.

That's really what I'm looking for- something with a sort of Oriental flair, but that allows for psionic skill progression...

Have you looked at the Diamond Warrior, also on WotC's site? Psi-powers plus improved unarmed combat abilities and some other powers.

There's also the Lucid Cenobite in Mindscapes (by Bruce Cordell, Mr. Psionics himself). It's also designed specificially for psionic monks.

The only three that spring to mind are the mindknight which you've seen, the diamond warrior, and the truth seeker, all three are psionic/monk classes. All are pretty good overall.

If you dont plan on having your character fight many times a day (in which case PsiWars suck...not enough PP), take the Diamond Warrior if your DM allows it. He might not, though, beucase unless you are dungeon fighting and hit a PP wall (even then, arguably), it makes regular monks practically obsolete.

Actually, I'm the DM- I'm looking for a suitable PrC to offer to one of my players (part of a larger organization)...

Beyond Monks: Art of the Fight has a good Monk/Psion PrC in it. I can't remember the name right now, but I think it's the best Monk/Psion combo I've seen.

Dragon #308 has an article called "Psychic Boxing" that includes paths of enlightement (martial arts styles for psions) and martial arts styles for psychic warriors. There are also a couple of feats and some interesting discussion of blending psionics into OA.

Not quite on topic, but it seems like it could be useful nonetheless.
