Perhaps a specific master teaches each style only to a few select students, meaning that a monk must prove herself worthy before pursuing the training. Each one might symbolize a different monastery, creating a rivalry (friendly or unfriendly) between their students. These fighting styles serve a variety of purposes in a campaign. If the character hasn't yet met the prerequisites, she doesn't gain the bonus ability, even if she meets the prerequisites at some later time. Finally, she gains a bonus ability at 6th level if she has met the listed prerequisites by that time. In addition, at 1st level she gets a +2 bonus on checks involving a skill of her selection (in exchange for the freedom of choice she gives up by preselecting her bonus feats). By selecting one of these fighting styles, she dictates which bonus feats she gains at 1st, 2nd, and 6th level (when a standard monk normally gains one of two bonus feats).
The standard monk, however, presents only a relatively limited variety of options to personalize your monk.Ī 1st-level monk (regardless of character level) may select one of the fighting styles described below. In literature and lore, the combat styles and aptitudes of a monk depend greatly on where (or by whom) she was trained.
