I know that the monk doesn't play a truly vital role, and should be able to be removed quite easily from the class list, however I like monk, so I've put up a fix or two that I really need to playtest, but last night a new thought occured to me.
Make 'monk' a title instead of a PrC, removing it from the list of classes and replacing it with six feets, enabling a character to become more or less monk-like, according to their tastes.
Monk Feets (Special, monk feets only work in light or no armor):
{table]Feet|Prerequisites|What it does
Wise dodge|Wis 12+|Add wis modifier to AC,
Taijutsu|Unarmed Strike|Gain monks unarmed damage progression
Flurry of Blows|Base Ref save +2|Extra attack, -2 on all attack rolls
Improved FoB|Ref +4, FoB|Penalty on attacks lessened to -1
Greater FoB|Ref +6, Imp FoB|No penalty on attack rolls
Superior FoB|Ref +8, Grtr FoB|Gain a second extra attack, no penalty[/table]
I also am considering ranking the characters "monkness" which is based on how many Monk feets he has - one being something like "monk noob", and all of them being "Grand Master", just for a little fluff. Also, a requirement for a Monk teacher could easily be added.
I need feedback on this, because this could potentially overpower a class, so if anyone has any thoughts or feets that simply must be added, post, post, and post again.
Edit: where it says just "ref +x" it means base reflex save, not total.
