[QUOTE="Zerovoid, post: 141493, member: 283"] It has been stated by the 3e designers that the multiclassing restrictions on monks and paladins are only there for flavor. Allowing monks unrestricted multiclassing won't unbalance the class, and it is a common house rule. There are a lot of official rules that bypass this restriction also. Most monk riented prestige classes have a note saying they can be multiclassed without penalty. It only makes sense in this case, as the monk has taken a slightly different focus, but hasn't abandoned his studies, and become, a druid or wizard or something. The FRCS also has special rules allowing monks and paladins of specific orders to multiclass freely. Because of this, I think you could assume that there is such a rule for the multiclass combinations presented in dragon, even if you normally restrict monk/paladin multiclassing. I believe they are described as belonging to a specific order, so its easy to say that monks of that order can multiclass freely. [/QUOTE]
