Yeah always wanted to play one. Was there a way to enter that class at level 6 though? The requirements were...
Base Attack Bonus: +6
Skills: Move Silently 10 ranks , Hide 10 ranks
Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike , Deflect Arrows , Quick Draw
Other: Evasion class feature, must contact Crescent Moon leadership.
All the abilities come out super late though, I had the vague idea at the time that playing a wizard or cleric gave me all those powers a lot faster.
As Erik noted, the ranks alone push it back to level 7.
The BAB requirement means that a straight monk won't qualify until level 8. So, the fastest way to get there is to take two levels of a class that gets you Evasion (Rogue works, but Monk gets you two of those feats and is obviously thematic), and then five levels of something with full BAB and Hide and Move Silently as class skills, like Ranger.
Now, I don't remember how cross classing skills works in 3.0. If it's like 3.5, once you have a skill as a class skill, your max ranks each level are calculated as if it's a class skill, but you have to pay double price per rank if it's cross classed at
that current class level. So, you
could take levels in something like Fighter instead of Ranger, but you have to pay extra to keep those Hide and Move Silently ranks up.
Also, you don't get dinged for your BAB a second time on a 3/4 class until level 5, so your split could also look something like Monk 3/Ranger 4 or Monk 4/Ranger 3.
