It seems at least once a week there's a new thread on fixing the 3.5/PF monk. Has anyone tried importing monk design from another system?
What's got me going is the Monk from Legend. Player's Handbook located here (http://www.ruleofcool.com/). Page 58 of the PDF.
It seems a LOT better; not as MAD (WIS for ATK and DAM, CON for AC), Full BAB, nice save progression, and interesting abilities. My concern is balance in a standard Pathfinder or 3.X game.
What about 4E? Other systems? I'm just trying to avoid homebrew, as it takes a LOT of work to make homebrew work.
The same applies with other "broken" classes or class concepts. Wanna be Robin Hood? Not by being a ranger, you won't (more likely fighter/rogue). Is there a system out ther that has a workable faux ranger that can be imported into 3.X/PF games without messign things up too badly?'
Maybe import the AD&D pally? Just started reading an AD&D book (foreword SAYS 2nd edition, but not on the cover or anywhere else. 1996 reprint of TSR's '89 edition). The pally in there seems pretty beefy, though less detailed.
