Just be patient with the monk. Yes it seenms that they are pathetic at the begining, but just wait t'il lvl 14. Much damage and ill can be stoped by only 40+ magic resistance. Later you can become 100% magic resistant. "Mage?, what mage?" keep uping your strength, it will help you hit and deal more damage, your THAC0 will also drop as you level up.
About quivering palm, consider casting greater malision on the target first. This will help you imensly, same goes for stunning blow.
Later in the game your monk will be invincible, if you equip him well. Just remember that he is NOT a tank, use anomen for that and you can kick but from behind or beside him while he distracts the enemies.

wierd my monks were able of dealing out an average of about 17 damage by the time they got quivering palm.
Overall don't fret, you will have a weapond of mass destruction when your monk hits the higher levels. Hope you enjoy your game.
