There may be a number of them, but a FR monk is described in the back of F&A. They aren't much like the 1e monk, though. For instance, as a sub-class of Priests, 2e FR monks can cast spells.

Sep 28, 2006 19:28:46 The Monk class also appears in Players Option: Spells and Powers

It's basically a cleric with access to the more "esoteric" spheres like Thought and Numbers instead of the traditional ones and unarmoured AC bonus, and hand-to-hand combat abilities.

Yep, I think there's also one in the Complete Priests Handbook?

None of them compare to the one's in 1e however, in my opinion.

I think we had someone try one out of Spells and Powers once, they stunk big time..IMO of course.

Sep 28, 2006 20:22:17 If you're talking about the kick a*se monks who could jump over small buildings in a single bound and tear apart opponents with their bare hands, then there is a 2nd ed supplement called 'Scarlet Brotherhood' that had the rules for the monk class at the back.

I don't have more details on the supplement at hand, but it'd be pretty easy to google the specifics.

Sep 28, 2006 21:31:42 I got "the scarlet brotherhood as a PDF. my e mail is [email]yohn31@hotmail.com..cont[/email]act me and I will see how to send it to you. It basically converts the 1st edtion monk to a 2nd edition equivelent(which is good in Greyhawk as the other 2nd edition monks in the scarlett brotherhood would get creamed)

Sep 30, 2006 2:04:48 The stock 1E monk was a bit too absurd for my tastes. I can suspend my disbelief plenty well enough for magic, psionics, elemental planes, dragons, and demons, but stuff like quivering palm, is just too big of a joke.
