1) I am trying to build an optimized enlightened fist build. For that, I looked for a non multiclassing way of a monk to have arcane caster levels, when I bumped into the monastic training feat ( Eberron Campaign Setting, p. 57) wich says:
"Pick one class. Taking levels in this class does not prevent you from taking monk levels. If you take levels in any other class, you lose your ability to progress as a monk as usual. If the selected class also has restricted advancement, such as the paladin class, taking monk levels does not prevent you from advancing in that class."
So, correct me if I'm wrong, Whenever I level up the chosen class I'm able to get one monk level "for free"? That means that a first level character can actually have 2 classes: the first being the class I chose and the second being the monk one. It can't be that way, right?
2) About the Tashalatora feat ( Secrets of Sarlona, p. 119), isn't it completely redundant when it says that the psionic class level stacks with monk levels? If you already gain monk levels as advancement in the chosen class from Monastic Training, what's the purpose of this feat?
3) If I, for example, take this feat into Barbarian, and then take wizard levels, would it count as having 3 different classes for the purpose of XP penalties? How BAB, Saves and other stuff would work altogether?
