CORE monks? no.  Out of core; however, they have enough interesting variants/ACFs that a 2-level dip is often good.

Monk's Belt on a VoP cleric.


That's about it.


I got a friend who's really into monk builds though, so I think he makes up for the both of us.

I thought the title of this thread was: Monk Pull

... and I figured that was what Monks were for anyways.

As a 2 level dip yes. You do get a lot from those 2 levels: 3 feats, evasion, exotic weapon proficencies, +3 to all saves, 4 skill points/level with a decent set of class skills. Plus there's plenty of feats that work well with monks like the ascetic multiclassing feats and snap kick.

I take issue with Poll Vote #3.

This is an insult to fags everywhere.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Probably cry.

Black mage would disagree. (He'd say White Mage, but he's not a real man [probably due to White Mage], so we're safe.)

Monk 1/psychic warrior 19 or monk 2/psychic warrior 18

With tashalatora you get flurry and monk's unarmed damage progression, plus wis to ac

And with greater mighty wallop (via umd wand or fellow party member) your damage per attack is 12d8, or 54 average damage per attack. (I stop at 12d8 since that is where the dmg p28 chart ends and thus my mind the end of pratical optimization and the beginning of TO begins) .

plus all the goodies of psychic warrior

Hey, the question was "Monk Poll" and "Do you use them"

I didn't say I used them well  :P

There was "practical optimization" thrown in there, too :p

The UA variant fighting styles don't make a two level dip that bad a choice for certain melee styles (in my opinion).
