Any original/interesting ideas for DnD 5E monk character backstory?
| My monk was an orphan raised by the church who left because he thought they were twisting the teachings of Bahamut to fit their own designs
| Is it normal that my DnD games always devolve into some kind of strange porno
| You should make a story based your character's experiances before he became a monk.
Example, you could have a story where his previous line of work was a very grusome one, one that gave him physical and mental scars that can makes your character either detrement or enhance his abilities in combat at certain points.
And also have him know a thing or two about what he has learned his line of work prior that can be used for something democratic. Weaps I would go for are Spiked Fists
| Im sort of new to that stuff so im just thinking things off the top of brain here.
| Used to work in porno industry.
Years of fisting butts do wonders to you.
| A monk who signed up at the wrong temple, but can't tell anyone because of the vow of silence and now he's stuck there.
| Perhaps a former personal trainer for nobles who wanted to be good at fisticuffs? Maybe part of the culture they come from also likes unarmed dueling too...
| Or a small fry local celeb that got caught up in his own hype to the point where he really does want to ORA ORA ORA like the rumors say he can

| Like, not just some usual dude from a monastery sent on a mission, or old criminal fighter repenting his sins or something, I was curious if there's something cooler.
Also suggest race/monk weapon pls.
