I like the original 'patch' for D&D 4E to include Monks (this was before the psionics handbook came out for 4E). It was a dual-strike Ranger that used 'unarmed' as the weapon of choice. Swap out the class feature "Hunter's Quarry" for something that will improve AC a bit and improve movement speed at each tier.

I lost the actual document; it was in my 4E Player's handbook as an errata page I glued in, but I sold that book off at a gamer garage sale.

Actually if you rewrote the class, I think that flavor-wise a Monk would make a very kickass version of that most elusive of 4e combos: Martial Controller. At least if you go by 3e's ideas and maybe make a lot of "move Speed squares and make this attack" powers.

I dunno, maybe I'm being silly, but I think that'd be neat myself. And yeah, Martial is explicitly "non-magic", so maybe some Monk powers would, as written, be not allowed. But, you can take HOW many hits from a 1[W] attack a day, at level 10? BEFORE even second-winding.

Anyone else interested in making a class, for any game that uses such things?
