I want to respec a companion to monk.
I love the open hand monks, but my Tav is a bard right now.
I already did a run where I turned Lae'zel to monk and Karlach to fighter. It wasn't bad, Githyanki do have monks, but still it didn't feel right. Lae'zel should be a fighter.
Karlach could be an MMA fighter which is consistent with the barehand fights of the open hand monk. But, the [monk] dialogues invoking serenity, stilness and harmony are not quite compatible.
If I could find an example of a loud, undisciplined monk in fiction or history, that might help. Does anyone have a lead ?
