    Default Monk varient?

    Is there a monk varient without flurry of blows? I realize that that is a main flavor for monks as martial artists, but I am curious to see what it can be substituted with

    In the past, I played Sir Theo Roost.
    I am soon to begin playing his heir, Dora the Destroya

    You can trade it for Decisive Strike (PHB 2)

    You could also take Battle Dancer (Dragon Compendium) instead of Monk for a different martial artist approach (think capoeira instead of kung fu).

    Though there is a master ACF list, I will pull it up for you

    here

    Yep, there are only the PHB2 one and some Kalashtar sub levels that allow you to augment grapples and stunning fist for power points, neat for talshatora (or however you spell it) monk 2/psy warriors

    as already slightly suggested, unarmed swordsage

    or even better: armed swordsage!



    it's kinda like a monk, but is actually completely awesome

    There is a halfling substitution monk that gets skirmish instead of flurry. As a DM, I would just let any player who wanted to trade flurry for skirmish.
