07-21-07, 04:24 PM Hello, I'm, keen on playing a monk and am thinking about advancing in some prestige class levels. The Tattooed Monk from Complete Warrior has a special class feature called "Monk Abilities."

Monk Abilities:
A tattooed monk's class levels stack with his monk levels for determining his unarmored damage, AC bonus and unarmored speed bonus.

Does anyone have a list of prestige classes that also has the Monk Abilities feature?

07-21-07, 05:49 PM There are probably some lists over at the CharOp boards or the important forum, but I do not know where they are. Here are a few pointers though:

CWar: Tattooed monk, Drunken Master (kinda)
CDiv: Sacred Fist - only some features, iirc damage and wis bonus
CArc: Enlightened Fist
XPH: Fist of Zuoken/Psionic Fist
Dragon Compendium: Monk of the Enabled Hand, Arcanopath monk (the same book in which it appeared, Dragon 281, also had the Zerth Cenobyte) - both
OA Update Dragon 318: Tattooed Monk (unnerfed, also has the flurry progression), Shintao Monk, Heishin Mystic - all advance flurry
Draconomicon: Initiate of the Draconic Mysteries (kinda... improves your unarmed damage, but the way it does it can actually boost your unarmed damage notably above 2d10 or 4d8)
Races of the Dragon: Disciple of the eye(only flurry and speed)
Dragon Magic: Dragon Descendant
Tome of Battle: Shadow Sun Ninja
Player's Guide to Faerun: Monk of the Long Death, possibly Martyred Champion of Ilmater (separate damage progression; other classes with it sometimes allow it to stack with monk levels instead)
Unapproachable East: Shou Disciple stacks with monk levels, according to most readings also stacks for flurry (it mentions a pre-3.5 progression feature, unarmed attack bonus, which was later substituted by the flurry progression), and allows flurry with any melee weapon
Waterdeep: City of Splendors: Sun Soul Monk, stacks for anything and flurry, allows flurry with light mace

It opens up a lot of possibilities.

08-02-07, 06:53 PM Yeah, Shaman pretty much covered all of 'em. I thought there was another one, but I can't seem to recall anything about it anymore.

08-05-07, 09:52 AM BTW, I've heard of Fist of the Forest and something like Argent Fist, but I do not have the newer Completes or Eberron material.
