So, a lot of PrCs (Cloud Anchorite, Disciple of the Word, Dragon Descendant, Enlightened Fist, Fist of Hadoken, Haztaratain, Henshin Mystic, Initiate of Pistis Sophia, Monk of the Enabled Hand, Monk of the Long Death, Shadow Sun Ninja, Shintao Monk, Sun Soul Monk, Tattooed Monk, Zerth Cenobite etc.) advance existing "Monk abilities", usually some combo of unarmed damage, flurry of blows, AC bonus and/or speed bonus.
My question is this: is there a RAW method to get "Monk abilities" that can be advanced, without levels in Monk?
I think due to the wording it only works on abilities granted by class levels, so Monk's Belt probably woudn't work.
Preferably not using adaptations/optional rules like Unarmed Swordsage, or relying on DM fiat. The Druid variant from UA that gets Monk AC and speed bonus might count, I guess.
Monk of the Enabled Hand gains abilities (flurry of blows, unarmed damage, AC bonus, speed bonus) as a Monk of their class level, so that should work. Henshin Mystic works similarly, but only for unarmed damage, AC bonus, and speed. I should probably check the wording of more of the PrCs.
Assume this is for an Iron Chef entry, in terms of sources and RAW.
