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'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'm just not playing super-lethal, and even Gygax's house rules are surprisingly lenient...?
Also the Unchained Monk from Pathfinder is a godsend; I appreciate that Kingmaker's version mix-and-matches both PF's classic and Unchained traits. Modular ki powers are very lovely too!
Eh, speaking of Gygax's house rules in this thread. Here's a blog entry that details them. Nothing huge, but helpful. http://cyclopeatron.blogspot.com/2010/03/gary-gygaxs-whitebox-od-house-rules.html
