You can read more about the challenge here and here.
Dedicated to Niko whom once lamented “man you have SW in the scene for like 10 or more years and you cannot get a supplement with pregens.”
Continuing with Monks. For reminder, here are the attributes:

And to repeat notes:
- Although Monks can be of any alignment, the rulebook states most are Lawful, hence I decided to make six Lawful, three Neutral, and one Chaotic.
- Since Monks have many class abilities, I just included those they get at first level, and only those they qualified for!
- Remember that STR bonuses to-hit and damage are for Fighters only. I only included these two modifiers if they were negative.
