[QUOTE="Mistah J, post: 5951641, member: 29527"] Hey folks, One of the character's in my game is a paladin/monk. The player is getting a little frustrated with the multiclassing though and it is only getting worse. We talked about it and discovered that he wants to play a monk with holy powers rather than a paladin who simply uses his hands. To that end, I asked him what exactly about the paladin he wanted and his answer was Detect Evil Smite Evil Lay on Hands Immune to Fear. So I thought about it and told him that the last two I would make into feats he could take. Specifically, a feat that makes him immune to fear and one that would let him use his wholeness of body ability on others. That was agreeable. I told him that I would work on a way to get the other two abilities without paladin levels and that is why I am here asking for help. I'm going to introduce to the character some scrolls that teach a martial art style of a celestial nature but what I am trying to decide if such a 'celestial monk' would work best as a PrC or as a 'style' as found in Ultimate Combat? In both cases I would add more than just the two paladin abilities in order to make it more interesting, and more flavourful. I guess I am just asking which way would you go if you were the DM. Which way would you like to go as a player? Thanks for the input [/QUOTE]
