I'm participating in an every-other-week D&D game that has been running a long time. I play a human monk character in a world where monks are not well known at all. (The monk character class was deleted from D&D books in the latest revisions so it’s not even a legal selection in many campaigns.) Many who meet my character don’t know quite what to make of him as the entire concept of monk is outside their understanding. Add to that a bit of role-playing flair and it makes for fun gaming.
