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.
