[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4122041, member: 19675"] Other PrCls of note: Kensai lets you boost your unarmed strike (or weapon) damage pretty quickly, and also gives you a conditional power called Power Surge for +8Str- pretty handy- and it freely multiclasses with Monks. As someone pointed out to me, the Shiba Protector PrCl adds his Wis score to Att & Damage roll...at 1st lvl of the class. That's a [I]nice[/I] dip. Tattooed Monk is nice, and if you add some psionic tats on top...Fun, fun, fun! The Shou Disciple is also a nice one- not only can you wear armor (though that costs you Monk- not Shou- abilities), but you eventually get to do FoB with [I]any[/I] weapon. Another WotC psychic monk PrCl is the Zerth Cenobite, in case the FoZ isn't to your liking. Sun Soul Monks have multiclassing with one other class built in. The Hazatarain is one of the few Monk PrCls that actually advances more than just a couple of the Monk's trademark abilities. Books to consider (and why): Secrets of Sharlona- lots of useful Monk feats Unearthed Arcana- lots of Monk variants Dragon Compendium v.1- several tasty Monk feats, and if you go for Pole Master/Pole Fighter, there is a huge selection of Polearms & Polearm feats (many by Mouseferatu!) Oriental Adventures- the Monk here has unrestricted multiclassing and a broader selection of weapons. In addition, there are a lot of feats & PrCls in its pages. On psionic Feats: One mistake I see a lot of monk/psionic class PC players make is that they go for the Psionic Fist feat tree, when in fact, they should take the more flexible Psionic Weapon feat tree. There are simply times when you don't want to touch a creature with your fists, and that +2d6 (etc.) would come in handy even if you're using your quarterstaff. [/QUOTE]
