#2 DaBeerds Dec 28, 2013 20:32:03	First the best place to ask this question would be the Previous Edition General or Previous Edition Optimization forums on this site.   That being said, according D&D SRD  there are "special cases" but they are very specific:   multiclassing cleric and paladin turning undead multiclassing barbarian and rogue uncanny dodge multiclassing sorcerer and wizard regarding familiar abilities   These rules can also be found in the 3.5e PHB page 59.   There is no "special case" for evasion and in my opinion with good reason. Improved evasion is a 9th level monk ability only and based on the assumption of applying the above special cases to evasion a monk/rogue could get improved evasion as a level 4 character (2/2)...just a touch overpowered.   That being said, as a DM, I would offer the compromise of you character being able to acquire improved evasion at character level 9 a majority of which have to be monk.  And all other monk abilities would shift up level.  So if your character were 5 monk/4 rogue the character could get improved evasion instead of Purity of Body.  But then:   Purity of Body would be the 6th level monk ability Bonus Feat and slow fall 30ft would be the 7th level monk abilities Wholeness of Body would be the 8th level monk ability And Slow fall 40ft would be the 9th level monk ability.

However, as a houserule, it wouldn't be too overpowered to allow the character to get it when they have a combined total of nine or ten character levels...
