Where the HELL is the Chaos monk?!

[Kuroimaken]

I've looked all over the place, over every handbook, googled it, but I can't seem to find the Chaos monk variant. All I know is that it drops the Lawful alignment requirement and requires Chaotic instead. In a nutshell, what does it do?

[Chemus]

Dude. Calm down. It'll be OK.

Oh, and try crystal keep; the Chaos Monk var is in a dragon mag, but I fergit which one.

Edit: Trades Flurry of blows for extra damage die/dice (depending on level). Swaps out purity of body/wholeness of body for some sort of miss chance. Trades some other abilities for retry save on to mind affecting 1/day, AFAIK.

Helps?

I just googled and found it. It's in Dragon 335.  I don't have that issue yet, though.

Been thinking of redoing that class for months now.  I have a few evil ideas.

Did  I say evil? I meant good.

You is WRONG!  It's WAAAY more fricking awesome than that!  Instead of +1 attack, you get a d3-1 extra attacks - and you get more from there!  Good times.  I LOVE that class.

[Snizor]

1d4-1 actually.

[JanusJones]

Ahem.

w00t!1!!!!!11!!

And you can multiclass with Barbarian finally.

What's that you say?  Pounce with rage and extra attacks?  Why YES, YES please!

[EjoThims]

Yes. Chaos Monk is as like a gift from the gods for melee classes. Up to 6 extra attacks by later levels, works with pounce/rage, and stacked on Shou Disciple is truly nasty for some skirmisher style super pouncers (7 attacks at highest bonus with all that extra damage? YES PLEASE).

[Chemus]

Y'all are very right; I was quite wrong in my reading of the class precis from CK. Very sorry, Kuroimaken, if I misled you.

[Kuroimaken]

No biggie. Shame it's on Dragon Mag, though (no wonder I couldn't find it anywhere!).

Not like it makes much of a difference now. I only needed one level of monk anyways. >.>;;
