Faerunian Monastic Orders Mod

This mod is in a very early stage right now, but I figured that I could get some good input here. Now that monks can have kits, I plan on adding a variety of the monastic orders of Faerun as monk kits. The 3E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting lists a variety of monastic orders as well as available multiclass options for each order. Although monks are unable to multiclass in Baldur's Gate, I think that the available multiclasses could inspire some of the abilities available to the monks of various orders.
The orders I am considering including are:

*Order of the Broken Ones (LG) - Order devoted to Ilmater (mc options: clerics).
*Order of the Long Death (LE) - Coalition of monks devoted to Myrkul, Kelemvor and Velsharoon (mc options: fighters, assassins, blackguards)
*The Old Order (LG,LN,LE) - Contemplative worshipers of a dead god (mc options: rogues, sorcerers)
*Order of the Shining Hand (LN) - Order devoted to Azuth and focused on protecting magic
*Order of the Yellow Rose (LG,LN) - Small order devoted to Ilmater and focused on endurance (mc options: ranger)

So far I have sketched out very basic concepts for most of the kits, although I am still not certain how I want to make the two orders of Ilmater (Broken Ones and Yellow Rose) significantly different.

Long Death Monks are going to be focused on stealth and have minor necromantic magic.
Old Order Monks are going to be Wisdom tanks that have various abilities centered around their contemplative nature.
Shining Hand Monks are going to be very magically oriented (think Arcane Fist).

Any suggestions or thoughts welcome.
