Boxing gloves? Would limit monks unarmed attack damage, easier anatomy training. Would be cool to see people get in a boxing ring and duke it out.

practice weapon for hand to hand
That would be nice, I refuse to train with monks for their anatomies.
You think they'll hunt you down later? I figure if I help a monk out, they owe me, big time.
If you wait until level 40 to train anatomies, you'll have monkey stance, and you won't be in the 50s range. Things will go really fast, and you'll never sit at level 20 trying to train anats again.
They go even faster if you wait until 50, but some people prefer not to do that.
My point is, this isn't really a necessary change, since monks are not all that difficult to train. Also, hand to hand goes up amazingly fast (for a pseudo-weapon skill), so practice weapons aren't really needed.
Good to see ideas coming in though.
traning a monk requires a little forethought and luck...invokers and healers with monkey stance are your BEST friends...trust me...you cant train faster than that.
as far as hand to hand, silviana's hand to hand was maxed before i even officially started traning....you really dont have to work to train it, now training the weapons is a PITA...even with practice weapons. But hand to hand, heck you use it all the time...you should be at the 80% cap before 15 and 100% by 25 easy.
