tfw You want to play some old-school D&D clone by the book, and are including house rules, but your big gripe is coming up with an AD&D Monk that isn& #39;t lame

As much as by-the-book grognards are annoying (and often chuds; it makes sense in context), I do appreciate B/X and/or AD&D. I& #39;m just not playing super-lethal, and even Gygax& #39;s house rules are surprisingly lenient...?

Also the Unchained Monk from Pathfinder is a godsend; I appreciate that Kingmaker& #39;s version mix-and-matches both PF& #39;s classic and Unchained traits. Modular ki powers are very lovely too!

Eh, speaking of Gygax& #39;s house rules in this thread. Here& #39;s a blog entry that details them. Nothing huge, but helpful. http://cyclopeatron.blogspot.com/2010/03/gary-gygaxs-whitebox-od-house-rules.html">https://cyclopeatron.blogspot.com/2010/03/g...
