    Default My raceless monk

    Pretty simple I am making a Monk, Drunken Master and I don't have a race for him I have considered different things but nothing seems to click.
    I would like to make a goliath but my DM doesn't approve of goliath monks.I got a couple of race books and it's in 3.5.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Expanded Psionics Handbook or Monster Manual...2?

    I'd recommend a Human, honestly. Monks are always hurting for feats. Otherwise, a Half-Giant or Half-Ogre (Savage Species or Races of Destiny).

    For the sheer absurdity: Crucian, from Sandstorm.



    You can actually have a Ninja Turtle! The abilities would actually make a decent-ish Monk.

    Second dwarf, for coolness and because you don't care about your Charisma anyway. Get the DM to rule alcohol as a "poison" (completely reasonable judgement IMHO) for better fort saves.

    From Frostburn. Yeti.

    Improved Grab, Constrict, Large size...

    +8 Str, +4 Con, +2 Dex, +2 Wisdom

    If ya really wanna get crazy, go Monk into fist of Zuoken for psionic enlarge, and, by higher levels, get up to gargantuan size.

    Plus, who wouldn't want to play a monk that was an ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN?

    goblin, for the fugg'all of it.

    Because seriously? what wouldn't be funny about being mauled by a homeless looking goblin that reeked of cheap bourbon.

    but more realistically? I dunno. Ogre-Mage could be fun but that's an absurdly high LA and Racial HD.

    If psionics are allowed, Elan. but that could be said about nearly any class.

    Thri-kreen is in Monster Manual 2 in 3ed, shining south (forgotten realms), expanded psionics, Savage specis, a few others besides

    3 ecl, 1 La, 2 hit dice
    +2 str, +4 dex, -2 int -2 wis -4 cha
    40 spd

    But the thing that makes them amazing is the fact they have 4 arms. Espically if you can become a vampire monk.

    Extra limbs is amazing in D&D...

    If we're going there... Illithid monk.

    Some psionics, 4 tentacles, 2 fists... I mean, come on!

    And think of the grappler fun.


    Alternately, go thri-kreen with illithid heritage and illithid tentacle feats.

    For when you need 4 arms AND 4 tentacles.

    EDIT: If we're doing 2 flaws?

    1) Racial HD - 3 feats (base, flaw flaw - Illithid heritage, Illithid tentacle x2)
    2) Racial HD
    3) LA
    4) Monk 1 - 1 feat (illithid tentacle x3)
    5) Monk 2
    6) Monk 3
    7) Monk 4 - (illithid tentacle x4)
    8) Monk 5
    9) Monk 6
    10) Monk 7 - Multiattack (sure, why not)
    11) Monk 8
    12) Monk 9
    13) Monk 10 - Aberrant Heritage
    14) Monk 11
    15) Monk 12
    16) Monk 13 - Inhuman Reach (10 foot reach!)
    17) Monk 14
    18) Monk 15
    19) Monk 16 - Superior natural attack (fist)
    20) Sorceror 1 - Yay enlarge person

    Now, using natural attack progression...

    4 attacks (fist) + 2 tentacle attacks - at level 3.
    4 attacks (fist) + 3 tentacle attacks - at level 4.
    4 attacks (fist) + 4 tentacle attacks - at level 7.

    Fists at full BAB, tentacles at BAB-2 - Level 10.
    Increased reach at level 16.

    So unoptimized it's not funny, but full of fun.
