Carmendine Monk

So the feat has the requirement of being a member of the zealots of the written word order. We are in a generalized campaign and my DM was wondering if this was negligible or not?

The Kung Fu Genius feat does the same thing (switches a monk's wisdom abilities to intelligence), and doesn't have any world-specific fluff associated with it. Originally appeared in Dragon #319, reprinted in the Dragon Compendium:

Carmendine Monk is usually preferred because it has one additional minor ability: you can study your thesis notes for 1 hour to temporarily increase your monk's level by two when determining either your unarmed damage, AC bonus, or movement bonus. Lasts for 24 hours.
