If you would please add my NEW Monk Reimagining, I would be very grateful. Keep the old one... don't know what to call this one to make it distinct, but I'm sure you'll think of something.
Excuse me, but why would you want to take any of the base martial adepts when your monk is available? Best stance progression, and warblade maneuvers known actually works in your favor when combined with crusader readying/recharge, as it's easier than ever to spam your favorite maneuver that way. Ah and you can use the best melee stat for saves instead of secondary mental stats. And then you add all the remaining bonus from your class on top of that like immunities, full good saves and Bab, several immunities, extra bonus to attack and AC and damage rolls and some other goodies. If you tought martial adepts were too weak then it's fine, but I don't see a warblade/crusader/swordsage facing your monk and having any real hope of winning.
