You then may want to look at Pathfinder, but I would argue they have the opposite problem in most cases.

Why u hate monks dawg?
I actually love the archetype, it's just the execution of the core class that sucks dirt.
If you saw my Monk remake you probably have an idea what I'm talking about.

PrC's started out what? When did that happen?
There was a time when PrC's weren't standard to a build? Must have been before my time, and I'm old!
In the core trio, PrCs appear in the DMG - the book that only the DM is supposed to look inside, remember?
There's a reason why the DMG is a separate book, you know.
(just to be clear, I'm talking about 3.5e)
Back in the late 80s, the days of the boxed sets, the days before the internet, if something was in the DMG and the DM didn't talk about it - it didn't exist.

I've always played Monks as skirmishers or caster-killers. Take advantage of that fast move, get up in a caster's grill, grapple and wail until caster is dead.
Of course, I also multi-class liberally, so there's almost always some fighter, rogue, or psychic warrior in there.

My usual is mixing a Dex/Wis/Con Monk with PsyWar or some kind of arcanist, the Lucid Cenobite or Kensai PrCl, and adding a polearm.

So, how many good unarmed combat specialised classes are there?
The honest truth is that D&D doesn't handle unarmed combat particularly well.
