im thinkink of playing with a monk but are they good or do they suck?

Monks are pretty good in my opinion. They have good speed, nice number of attacks and speed factor, extremely high magic resistance which combined with certain items can make the monk immune to magic, good AC and their special abilities are awesome, fun in the long run and definately worth trying out ;)

Good.

Yeah monks seem like a good class.

Pretty decent later on but lame at the beginning.

I'm planning on editing my character to give me Balthazar like powers. MINOR SPOILERS..............

I'm gonna give myself some spells. "Regeneration", "Temporal Flux" (Which is immunity to Time Stop" and one more which I haven't decided yet. What do you think? Oh, and a themed item, which I also haven't decided yet.

If you're going solo - a monk is probably one of the more sucessful classes you could choose. The major benefit is a high magic resistance. As the levels increase your monk will benefit with lower AC and magical fist attacks!

Combine this with some awsome special attacks and high attack/move rate and you'll have a pretty powerful character.

Make sure you install the BGII patch. I beleive there is a bug preventing a monk from attacking certain monsters even though he/she may have +3 attacks with fists.

Happy gaming.

i played that class before but not in a long run, but anyway your like having bruce lee or jakie chan in Amn....cool!!

A bit weak at the beginning, but is a dervish of destruction at later levels. Hee-Yah!

ok yeah he sounds cool=)
so i think i will try him out but the first guy said with some items he could get like immune ti magic could u tell me wich items but not where i can find them want to get them myself=)

Tons o' fun. But they lose their edge near the end of ToB.

I say hooray for the monk.

Hmm...losing the endge at the end. I wonder about this. At the end my lv 40 monk was unstoppable - could have benefitted from the 5th attack as per IWD2 though.
