Monkey

[Valenswift]

After reaching level 5 and advancing from the beginner's box the wizard in our game is intent on multi-classing with monk and becoming 'Monkey Magic'

He has the fly spell but obviously the duration is limited, is there any way to get a flying cloud or equivalent for more frequent flying?

Reflavor a Broom of Flying into a cloud-shaped object?

FLYING NIMBUS??!

My vote is with Protoman.

There are several item options. Wings of flying or a cloak of the bat, a flying carpet that produces a cloud-like effect around itself... Sadly, the closest parallel to the "mega-high-speed flying monkey cloud" is a high-level cleric spell not normally found on the wizard list.

Make sure your wizard player knows the requirements - and drawbacks - of taking a level in Monk. For example, it's a Wisdom-oriented class (as well as drawing on all three physical stats to varying degrees), so unless he has unusual stats for a wizard, he's not going to be a very effective monk. Don't get me wrong - he gets big saving throw bonuses and access to lots of new class skills, among other perks - but he might find the multiclass doesn't live up to his expectations.

If you are just now opening up all Pathfinder options after a period of using only the Beginner's Box, you may want to consider offering him a chance to rebuild his character from the ground up: turning him from a Wizard into a Sorceror would allow him to select from the bloodlines, some of which have powers that might more closely represent the sort of character he wants.

@ Protoman - reflavoring seems a good idea

@ Lincoln - thanks for the advice. I have read elsewhere that wizard/monk isn't a great combo.

Druid/Monk is pretty boss....

Oooo! cloud-shaped magic carpet would be cool too!
