Monk gets Martial Weapon: Axe as a feat?

    Every time I start a character as a Monk (any race, any Order), the Monk automatically gets Martial Weapon: Axe as a feat. I don't know how. And this doesn't happen if I add the Monk in as a multiclass. Any way to solve this?

    I thought the Axe feat was standard for a monk. I've added a level monk o/t old order to my druid and got the feat. You could start as a monk to avoid this...
    Lately I tried to recreate my pal1/sorcX and didn't get the saving throw bonus from CHA! Of course I'm sticking with my old sorc.
    I think Dalekeeper allows you to edit these issues though.

    Maybe something to do with a mod and tempus?
    I know Tempus gives you an axe feat for free, so perhaps a mod you're using somehow gave it to monks. (Sounds odd but just a guess)

    This has been happening since before I installed any mod. Yeah, I've been using DaleKeeper to edit it, but still, why is it happening?

    In 3.5, the Monk has proficiency in the hand axe, but not the battle axe or great axe. Since IWD2 weapon proficiencies are handled using weapon groups, the developers decided to give the Monk proficiency in axe. It was a choice to either give Monks proficiency in all axes or none at all and they went with all axes.

    In my opinion "none at all" would have made a lot more sense...
