I have been messing around with a fun variant of the Monk. I started a campaign in Japan (trying to be historical) with no Elfs, orcs, etc as PC's.
Using the feat from CA, allowing me to advance in both rouge and monk at the same time. With the sudden strikes, ghost steps, great leap coupled up with the monk feats its been rather fun. I did use up 2 feats to gain the use of Kursai-gama , 1 exotic feat and one weapon finese feat. Its added a lot of fun the the Monk. RPing its been a blast also.
Skills have complemented each other well. Diplomacy, and other stuff for the monk side while trapfinding, etc for the Ninja side.
The hardest part for the class is the RP side. Hiding secondary class and having the party believe that they have a monk in the party. Right now he is escorting a Shugenja to the southern regions to open contact with with other temples. (Hes also gathering information on some "troubled" lords)
Just a test. But so far a welcomed break from the norm and min/maxed toons.
